| 520 | _a"In Old Madras" by B. M. Croker is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the tropical setting of Madras (now Chennai), focusing on Captain Geoffrey Mallender as he embarks on a quest to uncover the mystery of his uncle's thirty-year-old disappearance. The tale hints at intrigue, family secrets, and a clash between past and present, woven into the fabric of British India during a time of colonial complexity. The opening of the novel sets a vivid and atmospheric scene, where the oppressive heat of Madras contrasts with the bustling lives of its residents. Captain Mallender, a new arrival to the region, is introduced as a determined young man pacing anxiously in the offices of Brown and Brown & Co., waiting to discuss his uncle’s mysterious fate with the firm that managed his finances. As he reveals his intent to trace his long-lost uncle, the narrative delves into the initial resistance of the firm’s representatives, who harbor their own suspicions. Through Mallender’s encounter, the reader is drawn into a web of family intrigue, potential danger, and the alluring backdrop of colonial India, establishing a rich foundation for the events to come.
