"The Frame Up" by Richard Harding Davis is a crime fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the complexities of political corruption, personal ambition, and the pursuit of justice in New York City. It delves into the moral dilemmas faced by its protagonist, who navigates a labyrinth of deceit and scandal in the world of law and public service. The plot centers on District Attorney Wharton, who becomes embroiled in a murder investigation after receiving a mysterious note that claims to reveal the identity of Hermann Banf's killer. As Wharton pursues this information, he is drawn into a tangled web that not only threatens his political career but also implicates his wealthy brother-in-law, Hamilton Cutler. Amid rising tensions with Tammany Hall and manipulative characters like Ida Earle, Wharton must confront difficult truths and uphold the law while grappling with the consequences of his familial ties. The narrative unfolds with suspenseful twists, ultimately challenging the reader's understanding of loyalty, justice, and integrity in a corrupt system. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
