Summary "Five Thousand Dollars Reward" by A. Frank Pinkerton is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a rural setting, focusing on themes of murder, betrayal, and the pursuit of justice as the characters navigate the repercussions of a crime involving the mysterious death of a young woman named Victoria Vane. The narrative introduces several key players, including the stoic August Bordine, who becomes entwined in the investigation, and the sinister tramp Perry Jounce, who adds an element of danger and suspense. The opening of the novel sets a tense atmosphere as Victoria Vane encounters the burly tramp who intrudes into her home, leading to a harrowing moment where she is nearly assaulted. Just as she screams for help, her brother's friend, August Bordine, intervenes. The tension escalates further when Victoria is later found murdered, sparking a manhunt for her killer, with Bordine becoming a primary suspect due to circumstantial evidence linking him to the crime. As the story progresses, various characters emerge, including Ransom Vane, Victoria's brother, and Detective Silas Keene, raising questions about loyalty, love, and the darkness that lies in human hearts. The stage is set for a gripping tale of mystery as Bordine seeks to clear his name while uncovering the truth behind Victoria's tragic fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
