Summary: "Against Odds: A Detective Story" by Lawrence L. Lynch is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Carl Masters, a member of the secret service, who arrives at the World's Fair not as a tourist but in pursuit of criminal suspects, specifically counterfeiter Greenback Bob and his associates. The backdrop of the exposition sets the stage for intrigue and deception, as Masters navigates through the fair's splendor while shadowing various characters who may hold keys to his investigation. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Masters as he arrives at the grand site of the World's Fair, immediately captivated by its beauty yet focused on his mission. As he engages with a rustic man and other fair-goers, he quickly realizes that he isn’t merely navigating the Fair's exhibitions but also a web of potential confidence schemes and criminal activities. Masters’ keen observations and interactions establish a tense atmosphere filled with suspense and the promise of danger, hinting at the complexities that lie ahead as he works to uncover the counterfeiting plot while guarding against the dangers of deceit in this vibrant public space.
