Summary "A Splendid Hazard" by Harold MacGrath is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around John Fitzgerald, an American correspondent who finds himself swept into the intrigue of Paris and the world of naval adventures alongside Admiral Killigrew and his daughter, Laura. As Fitzgerald navigates romantic interests, historical reflections on figures like Napoleon, and elements of mystery, the story promises a blend of charm and excitement. At the start of the story, Fitzgerald walks through rainy Paris on June 16th, reflecting on the significance of the date tied to Napoleon's legacy. His encounter with a mysterious stranger, Karl Breitmann, leads him to a dinner invitation and unexpected camaraderie over shared enthusiasms for history and adventure. As Fitzgerald visits the tomb of Napoleon, he admires the girl, whom he later discovers to be Laura Killigrew, the daughter of a retired admiral. The opening sets the stage for Fitzgerald's journey as he becomes intricately involved in startling events happening around him, where romance, history, and suspense intertwine.
