"The Black Eagle Mystery" by Geraldine Bonner is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around the perplexing suicide of a prominent lawyer, Hollings Harland, which sends ripples through the world of finance and leads to a series of investigations delving into deception, love, and financial ruin. Central characters include Molly Morgenthau Babbitts, a former telephone girl turned detective, and her husband Babbitts, who works as a reporter trying to piece together the web of intrigue involving Harland, his associates, and a powerful financier, Johnston Barker. The opening of the novel introduces us to Molly and her husband as they discuss the shocking news of Harland’s suicide, which takes place after a heated confrontation with Barker—who subsequently disappears. As they delve into the mystery, they explore the ramifications of the suicide on various characters around Harland, including Iola Barry, who works in an office on a floor just below the scene of the tragedy, and Miss Whitehall, a businesswoman whose fate becomes intertwined with these events. The narrative captures the initial reactions to the calamity, setting a suspenseful tone as Molly becomes drawn to uncovering the truth behind Harland’s death and Barker’s connections to it. The chapter sets the stage for a gripping tale filled with twists and revelations that challenge the characters' perceptions and motivations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
