"The Black Ghost of the Highway" by Gertrude Linnell is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two main characters, John and Marshall, as they embark on a road trip across Central Europe, encountering various landscapes and cultures. However, their seemingly innocuous travels turn serious as they uncover a political upheaval following the sudden death of a king, with rising tensions and royal conspiracies unfolding. At the start of the narrative, John and Marshall find themselves captivated by the beautiful scenery as they journey into the mountains, intending to visit a relative. Their drive leads them to the city of Herrovosca, where they witness the chaotic aftermath of the king's assassination, which sets into motion a series of events tied to a royal power struggle. As they attempt to navigate the tumultuous political landscape, they learn of the new king and his mysterious bride, Princess Maria Lalena, while also encountering the ominous legend of the Black Ghost of the Pass. The opening portion expertly blends the thrill of exploration with the undercurrents of danger and intrigue, setting the stage for a captivating adventure ahead.
