Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dangerfield_Talisman Brian Raiter "The Dangerfield Talisman" by J. J. Connington is a novel likely written in the late 1920s. The story unfolds in a setting rich with interpersonal dynamics among a group of characters gathered at Friocksheim, a historic estate. Central to the plot is the titular Talisman, an heirloom of significant value within the Dangerfield family, which both draws admiration and envy from the characters present, setting the stage for potential intrigue and conflict. The opening of the book introduces several key characters engaged in a bridge game, highlighting their relationships and personal concerns. Eileen Cressage, one of the players, is preoccupied with mounting debts and the allure of the Dangerfield Talisman, which she believes could alleviate her financial struggles. Meanwhile, the atmosphere anticipates tension, as Wraxall, a collector, aims to obtain the Talisman, and secretive discussions hint at underlying motives among the guests. As the plot unfolds, themes of wealth, reputation, and the consequences of desire begin to emerge, particularly with the foreshadowing of challenges surrounding the Talisman itself.
