520 _a"The Sea Mystery" by Freeman Wills Crofts is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mr. Morgan, a manager of a tin-plate works, who, while enjoying a fishing trip with his son Evan, inadvertently discovers a crate that contains a dead body. This unsettling find sets off a chain of investigations led by Inspector French, who seeks to unravel the circumstances surrounding the mysterious death and the crate's origins. At the start of the novel, Mr. Morgan and Evan are having a quiet fishing excursion in Burry Inlet, Wales, when they accidentally hook a crate from the seabed. Upon retrieving it, they are met with a nauseating smell emanating from within and a disturbing realization that a decomposed body is inside. Mr. Morgan, wanting to protect his son from the horror, decides to inform the local authorities after they return home. The opening chapters establish a suspenseful atmosphere as the investigation begins, introducing not only a complex murder mystery but also the personal struggles of Mr. Morgan as he grapples with the grim reality of his discovery.
