Summary "Kadonnut mies" by J. S. Fletcher is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young lawyer named Hetherwick, who finds himself embroiled in a perplexing case following the sudden death of a former police chief, Robert Hannaford, on a train. As Hetherwick investigates, he uncovers a web of intrigue involving a mysterious woman, a potential inheritance, and unanswered questions about Hannaford's last moments. The opening of the novel sets the stage for the mystery as it introduces Hetherwick, who is on a train when he witnesses a dramatic incident involving two men. One of them, a robust older gentleman, collapses and dies, prompting Hetherwick to examine the peculiar circumstances surrounding the man's death and the shadowy figure of his companion who hastily departs. As the story unfolds, Hetherwick's curiosity grows, compelling him to delve deeper into the case, which is complicated by the victim's connections and the revelation of unexpected clues, including a photo of a beautiful woman in Hannaford's possession. This enigmatic opening establishes a suspenseful atmosphere and hints at a complex investigation that Hetherwick must navigate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
