Summary: "The Crime of the Century; Or, The Assassination of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin" by Henry M. Hunt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles the conspiracy and murder of Dr. Cronin, a notable physician, revealing the shocking nature of the crime that gripped the public and raised questions about political motives behind the assassination. The book emphasizes the dramatic unfolding of events leading to the doctor's untimely demise, and the broader implications it had on American society and the Irish-American community involved in political activism. At the start of the work, the scene is set with Dr. Cronin preparing to leave his home for a meeting when a mysterious stranger summons him for an urgent medical call. Unbeknownst to him, this summons ultimately leads to his fate at the hands of conspirators. As Cronin departs, his friends grow increasingly worried about his absence when he fails to return home.
