Phantom Wires: A Novel
Produced by Al Haines
"Phantom Wires: A Novel" by Arthur Stringer is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows James L. Durkin, an electrical expert who grapples with his tumultuous past and current predicaments while navigating the vibrant yet toxic environment of Monte Carlo. The themes of human desire, moral conflict, and the struggle against fate seem to be central to the story as Durkin's life intertwines with enticing challenges and the specters of his former existence. The opening of the novel introduces Durkin as a man grappling with despair and an uncertain future, counting his meager coins in his hotel room before the backdrop of the Mediterranean. As he contemplates an advertisement calling him back to action, memories of his wife, Frances, resurface with a sense of urgency and longing. The narrative quickly shifts, revealing that Frances has been entangled in her own struggles, not only in achieving independence but also in uncovering complex secrets related to espionage and looming dangers. This dynamic creates an intriguing foundation for their re-encounter and raises questions about loyalty, redemption, and the moral choices they face together in a world rife with deception and intrigue.
