Frank Hunter's Peril: Restored Classics to Go Edition

Frank Hunter's Peril begins with a domestic intrigue that quickly widens into a web of deception, hidden identities, and family conflict. In the small town of Shelby, Frank grows alarmed by the attentions of the suave Mr. Craven toward his widowed mother, whose gentle nature makes her easy prey for his flattering talk and calculated appeals. Craven is not the generous gentleman he pretends to be: he is after Mrs. Hunter's money, and he presses his suit until she accepts an engagement out of duty and sacrifice, leaving Frank heartbroken and suspicious. As the marriage draws near, Craven's fraud deepens. He borrows money from the miserly Job Green, is humiliated by Frank's watchdog, and continues to hide his poverty behind polished manners. After the quiet wedding, Frank's compassion leads him into a London slum, where he aids a destitute sick woman and her children, only to uncover a possible link to Craven and a larger family mystery. Colonel Sharpley's own secret maneuvers, including his manipulation of a poor invalid into changing her name and disappearing, further thicken the plot before the story moves on to Paris, where Frank's wonder at the city and its exhibition contrasts with Sharpley's cool indifference.
