Summary "The Strange Case of Cavendish" by Randall Parrish is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Frederick Cavendish, a man recently drawn back into the adventurous life of outdoor prospecting after receiving a desperate telegram from his old partner, Jim Westcott. The narrative unfolds around the mysterious circumstances surrounding Frederick's potential death and hints of betrayal and crime involving his cousin John Cavendish and a cast of other dubious characters. The opening portion of the novel introduces Frederick Cavendish as he contemplates a telegram that stirs memories of his adventurous past. At a café, he briefly interacts with his cousin John, revealing a strained relationship marked by John’s reckless lifestyle and dependence on Frederick’s financial support. After deciding to travel to Bear Creek to join Jim, Frederick begins to outline his plans for his estate, driven by a feeling of urgency. The scene shifts dramatically as it hints at Frederick's demise and raises suspicions surrounding John Cavendish and others. This sets the stage for a gripping exploration of crime, familial tension, and the quest for truth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
