"Lukkoneula" by J. S. Fletcher is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Southernstowe, where it follows the life of Francis D. Shelmore, a young solicitor who finds himself thrust into unexpected circumstances when a new client, the mysterious Cynthia Pretty, arrives seeking help about her missing guardian, Mr. Deane. As the narrative unfolds, we are drawn into a mystery that involves deception, potential crime, and intrigue surrounding the characters' relationships and motivations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Shelmore, a meticulous young solicitor who is proud of his newly established office. His routine is disrupted when Cynthia Pretty seeks his assistance concerning the disappearance of her wealthy guardian, Mr. Deane, who vanished under suspicious circumstances after arriving at the local hotel. As Shelmore learns more about the situation, including Mr. Deane’s activities leading up to his disappearance and the implications of his potential riches, tension builds. With the introduction of additional characters, including a police officer and various townsfolk, the plot hints at a complex web of intrigue and suspense that engages the reader in uncovering the truth behind Mr. Deane's vanishing.
