| Summary |
"The Yellow Face" by Fred M. White is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the life of Claire Helmsley and her engagement to the ambitious Jack Masefield, who harbors suspicions about Claire's guardian, Spencer Anstruther. The story is set against a backdrop of a mysterious and chilling poster featuring a sinister yellow face, which seems to hold deeper implications that haunt the characters. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Claire and Jack as they await dinner while discussing the enigmatic Nostalgo poster that captivates London. Jack’s unease about Claire's guardian grows as conversations about their secret engagement reveal tensions. Soon, a series of strange events unfold, including the unnerving similarities between the poster and Anstruther’s demeanor, as well as Jack's unsettling discovery of a murder linked to the mysterious figure. The opening portion sets the stage for a gripping exploration of mystery, suspicion, and possibly murderous intrigue that intertwines with the personal lives of the characters.
