| 520 | _a"The Sturgis Wager: A Detective Story" by Edgar Morette is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative opens with a chaotic scene in New York City where a cab overturns, revealing a dead passenger inside, which sets off a series of mysterious events. The main character appears to be Ralph Sturgis, a reporter who is determined to unravel the enigma surrounding the murder. The opening of the book introduces a cold December night in bustling New York City, filled with holiday shoppers. The plot thickens as a cabman suddenly loses consciousness, leading to a collision with a cable car, which ultimately exposes a corpse within the overturned cab. As paramedics and police gather, attention shifts to Ralph Sturgis, who uncovers that the passenger was shot before the incident and sets forth to investigate the circumstances of the crime. Meanwhile, conversations hint at the intellectual battles between those who believe in the unequivocal nature of circumstantial evidence and those who value direct witness accounts, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of crime and its mysteries.
