"The Dorrington Deed-Box" by Arthur Morrison is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book unfolds through the narrative of Mr. James Rigby, who returns to England from Australia and finds himself entangled in a web of crime and intrigue linked to his father's mysterious murder years earlier. As he settles back into life in England, he is confronted by unsettling events that suggest that the past may not be as far behind him as he thought. The opening of the novel introduces Mr. James Rigby, who recounts his family's history, particularly the tragic story of his father's murder linked to the Camorra crime syndicate. Rigby reflects on his isolated upbringing in Australia and his recent decision to move to England to pursue his passion for art. However, upon returning, he becomes acutely aware of being followed—a sensation that evokes memories of his father's grim fate. As he attempts to escape this haunting realization, he encounters Horace Dorrington, a charismatic man who offers friendship, but whose true intentions remain ambiguous, adding layers to the tension as the story unfolds. The beginning sets a captivating tone of mystery and foreboding, suggesting that Rigby’s quest for personal reinvention may soon intersect with the dangers of his heritage.
