"The Millbank Case: A Maine Mystery of To-day" by George Dyre Eldridge is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the murder of Theodore Wing, a well-respected lawyer in the town of Millbank, who is found dead on his doorstep under mysterious circumstances. As the investigation unfolds, various characters are introduced, including Mrs. Parlin, Wing's housemate, and Trafford, a detective who is tasked with uncovering the truth behind the crime. The opening portion of the novel establishes the setting and introduces key characters while laying the groundwork for the mystery. We see Theodore Wing as a prominent figure in Millbank, admired yet seemingly without enemies; the unexpected nature of his murder sends shockwaves through the community. The details surrounding his death are chilling, as it appears to have been carried out by someone who knew him well enough to lure him to the door. The narrative hints at underlying complexities regarding Wing’s relationship to Judge Parlin, of whom he was the illegitimate son, bringing additional intrigue to the investigation. The scene is set for a deeper exploration of motives, relationships, and secrets in this gripping tale of murder and mystery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
