Summary

In "The Ends of Justice," Fred M. White masterfully weaves a gripping narrative that examines the moral complexities of justice and retribution. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the novel encapsulates the era's social upheavals and legal dilemmas through its richly drawn characters and intricate plotting. White employs a vivid prose style that combines elements of social realism with thrilling suspense, leading readers through a labyrinth of ethical quagmires where the line between right and wrong is often blurred. The novel'Äôs exploration of human psychology and the ramifications of societal expectations provides a compelling critique of justice systems that resonate with contemporary audiences. Fred M. White was a prolific English novelist whose works often reflected the anxieties and values of his time. Born in 1859, White was not only a writer but also an editor and journalist, experiences that undoubtedly informed his keen insights into the societal structures he critiqued. His exploration of themes such as righteousness and human fallibility in "The Ends of Justice" is reminiscent of his own confrontations with the moral ambiguity present in his society. Ideal for readers captivated by moral dilemmas and richly layered narratives, "The Ends of Justice" is a thought-provoking examination of how far individuals will go in the pursuit of what they believe justice to be. This novel is highly recommended for those intrigued by the intersections of crime, society, and the human condition, as well as fans of classic crime fiction.

    Having tried his hand at medicine, pickpocketing, and good old-fashioned thuggery, Seamus Caron has finally settled into life as a private detective, hunting down lost money and wandering husbands. It’s not glamorous work, but it pays the bills and provides a steady supply of fistfights for entertainment. The job also keeps him close to his best friend, Sandra Blair, a homicide detective for the Toronto Police. But when she calls in a favor on a murder case, Seamus realizes that the victim is a notorious mob lawyer, putting an end to what little stability and safety he’d managed to scrape together.
    		 
    Seamus must find the killer before the murder sparks an all-out gang war. Luckily, he’s got help — a confidence man turned barman, the finest cook in Little Chinatown, and Maxwell Moscovitz, his new secretary. She has the mental sharpness and moral flexibility for the job, but she also has a few secrets of her own.
    		 
    Seamus begins to suspect a connection between the murder and a new drug on the street known as Platinum, which promises obscene profits for its suppliers, euphoria for its users, and a shockingly high death rate. As he investigates suspicious overdoses, Seamus can’t help hearing echoes of his past and the tragedy he’s spent 20 years trying to forget. Caught between the police, the mob, and an anonymous killer, Seamus will need to face his demons, or he just might lose it all.

    Marcus Sinclair is a history teacher whose life is stuck in neutral when he inherits a papyrus scroll from his antiquarian uncle. The mysterious scroll might contain a lost masterpiece from ancient Rome or perhaps an ancient recipe for personal tranquility, but it’s unreadable unless Marcus can figure out a way to unroll the scroll without destroying it. His quest takes him to Naples, where he befriends a Google software engineer days before the man is found dead. Marcus is interviewed by an investigative journalist, Kristi Grainger, and they find themselves on parallel paths leading to a Neapolitan trafficker in antiquities, a tech mogul obsessed with the distant past, and a clutch of academics searching for the lost library of Herculaneum. In a seaside city that is by turns lush and lethal, Marcus must confront the unraveling of more than a scroll.
    		 
    This novel is inspired by a real place — the Villa dei Papri, the only library from antiquity to have survived — and coincides with the Vesuvius Challenge, a real-life international competition to decipher Herculaneum scrolls.
