| Summary |
"The Crimson Blind" by Fred M. White is a novel written in the early 20th century. This intriguing story follows David Steel, a struggling novelist who finds himself in a dire financial situation due to a brother's misconduct, leading to a night filled with unexpected twists and turns as he receives an anonymous phone call from someone who may hold the key to his salvation. The plot thickens when Steel is drawn into a web of mystery involving criminal activities, a mysterious woman, and a potential murder. The opening of the novel introduces David Steel, who, in a moment of despair, reflects on his circumstances and the imminent threat of losing everything he has worked for. As he navigates through his looming financial ruin, he receives a call from a mysterious voice offering him £1,000 in exchange for helping a friend in need. Drawn by both the alluring offer and the urgency of his own situation, Steel follows the voice's instructions, leading him to a secretive exchange that involves a package containing bank notes. However, as he grapples with his newfound financial relief, he quickly becomes embroiled in a murder investigation when a body is discovered in his conservatory, pointing towards a deeper conspiracy that he will have to unravel.
