A Fascinating Traitor: An Anglo-Indian Story
1897
A financially ruined British officer sits by a Swiss lake, contemplating his desperate future. This is the electrifying opening of Richard Savage's 1897 novel, a tale of double lives, high stakes, and dangerous attraction in the twilight of the British Empire. Major Alan Hawke has squandered his fortune at the gaming tables of Monte Carlo, and as he stares at the swans gliding on Lake Leman, his options seem exhausted, until fate intervenes through a card game that promises redemption, and a mysterious woman whose interests extend far beyond the innocent. What follows is a dangerous entanglement with the wealthy returnee Hugh Johnstone, where nothing is as it seems and everyone has something to hide. The title hints at the novel's central mystery: who is the fascinating traitor, and what do they truly want?
