Overview

"A Woman's Debt" by William Le Queux is a novel likely written in the early 20th century, characterized by its intricate plot and a blend of romance and mystery. The story revolves around Richard Croxton, the confidential secretary to millionaire Rupert Morrice, and his expected romance with Rosabelle Sheldon, Morrice’s niece. As they navigate their feelings, the narrative unfolds a web of intrigue involving not just personal relationships but also a significant crime that threatens Richard's future. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the social dynamics between Richard, Rosabelle, and their wealthy confidants, setting the stage for both romance and tension. Richard grapples with his feelings for Rosabelle while dealing with the antagonism from Archie Brookes, a rival with a familial connection to the Morrices. The plot takes a dramatic turn when a safe containing valuable items is mysteriously robbed, with all evidence pointing toward Richard, setting off a chain of events that leads to personal and relational upheaval, particularly as Rosabelle asserts her belief in his innocence. The foundation for a complex investigation is thus laid, engaging the reader's intrigue about how love and loyalty will be tested amidst betrayal and suspicion.

About the Author

William Tufnell Le Queux was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat, a traveller, a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter becoming a bestseller.
