"The Crystal Claw" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story opens with a young solicitor named Rex Yelverton enjoying a winter holiday in the Swiss Alps, where he encounters the enigmatic Mrs. Thelma Audley. The narrative hints at mystery and intrigue surrounding her newlywed status, as well as the peculiar circumstances that seem to entwine her with Rex and the old scholar Dr. Feng. At the start of the novel, Yelverton is dining in a hotel when he notices Mr. and Mrs. Audley, a charming honeymoon couple. However, as the story progresses, it becomes evident that there is more beneath the surface; Thelma appears troubled, and her husband Stanley's abrupt departure raises questions about his true identity. Yelverton becomes embroiled in a web of romance, loyalty, and a deeper mystery associated with Thelma’s father and a powerful secret society. The arrival of an unusual pendant, the titular "crystal claw," promises to be a central facet of the unfolding plot, suggesting hidden connections and potential dangers tied to Thelma's past.
