Summary: "A Master Hand: The Story of a Crime" by Richard Dallas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces a murder mystery centered around the death of Arthur White, a man found murdered in his home. The story unfolds through the perspective of a friend of White, who navigates the web of suspicion and intrigue surrounding the crime, with characters including the victim's cousin, Henry Winters, who becomes the prime suspect. The beginning of the novel establishes a somber tone as the narrator reflects on the tragic events that unfolded twenty years prior, leading to White’s murder. The opening chapters detail the narrator's interactions with White and his friends, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. As a deputy in the District Attorney's office, he is drawn deeper into the investigation, especially after White is found dead with a dagger in his back. The narrative emphasizes the complexity of human relationships, guilt, and the implications of societal judgments, all while hinting at a rich backstory filled with error, remorse, and the potential for injustice—primarily focusing on the dynamics between White, his acquaintances, and the secrets that bind them.
