The Stretton Street Affair
A chance encounter on a train draws electrical engineer Hugh Garfield into a nest of danger in post-war London. The enigmatic Oswald De Gex summons Garfield to his opulent home, where a young woman named Gabrielle Engledue lies dead and something far more sinister than grief permeates the walls. Bribery, betrayal, and a devastating loss of memory follow. Garfield awakens in a foreign hospital with gaps in his mind and questions that may cost him everything. Le Queux crafts an atmospheric Edwardian nightmare where trust is a luxury and every face hides a blade. The novel operates as both a rattling mystery and a disturbing portrait of how quickly an ordinary life can be consumed by forces beyond comprehension. The Stretton Street Affair moves with the momentum of a thriller while maintaining the creeping dread of psychological fiction, leaving readers to wonder how much of what we believe is real. For readers who enjoy early spy fiction, period sensation novels, and dark mysteries where nothing and no one is as they appear.
