520			_a"The Pace That Kills: A Chronicle" by Edgar Saltus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Roland Mistrial, a man of privilege whose life is intricately woven with themes of wealth, love, and societal expectations. As he navigates his return to New York after years abroad, he becomes entwined with the Dunellen family, particularly with Justine Dunellen, potentially opening the door to a significant relationship marked by past grievances and familial disputes. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, Roland Mistrial, as he reflects on his life and circumstances, having returned to New York after a decade of wandering. He is burdened by the sudden death of his father and the realization that he has inherited nothing substantial, which catalyzes his struggles with financial insecurity and societal pressures. Meanwhile, the narrative delves into his complex relationships, especially with Justine, whom he encounters during a New Year's gathering. As the dynamics between characters unfold, hints of past entanglements and rivalries — notably with Justine's cousin, Dr. Guy Thorold — complicate Roland's ambitions for wealth and love, setting the stage for a rich exploration of morality and desire. As events progress, the complexities of Roland's character and the choices he makes suggest a deeper commentary on the consequences of ambition and the societal "pace that kills."
