"An Artist in Crime" by Rodrigues Ottolengui is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Jack Barnes, a clever and shrewd detective who finds himself embroiled in a wager made by a mysterious character who believes he can successfully commit a crime without being caught. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of crime, detection, and the psychological games between criminals and those who pursue them. The opening of the novel introduces Jack Barnes on a train journey where he overhears a conversation that ignites his curiosity about a challenge posed by another passenger, who claims he can commit a crime and evade capture. Barnes, intrigued and determined, makes a mental note to keep an eye on this individual. The dialogue sets the stage for a battle of wits as both characters maneuver their plans amid a backdrop of a daring robbery aboard the train and a developing murder mystery involving the theft of a staggering amount of jewelry. As the story progresses, the stakes escalate, making for a thrilling detective narrative filled with clever twists and potential traps for both the criminal and the detective.
