| Summary | "The Flaming Jewel" by Robert W. Chambers is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Mike Clinch, a man with a troubled past and dubious means of survival, as he navigates a world filled with criminals and law enforcement. Central to the plot is the mysterious and rare gem called the Flaming Jewel, which drives the actions of both the villains and the protagonist, ultimately testing the loyalties and moral dilemmas faced by those involved. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mike Clinch, whose fate appears to be intertwined with international criminals José Quintana and Emanuel Sard, as well as James Darragh, a character with a hidden agenda. We learn of Clinch’s troubled history, the threat posed by Quintana, and the chaotic environment surrounding him, including the presence of law enforcement who have their eyes on his illicit activities. Key to the plot is Clinch’s stepdaughter, Eve, who finds herself caught in the tumultuous web of events unraveling around them. The beginning sets the stage for a tense narrative that intertwines deception, romance, and the quest for redemption amidst crime and moral ambiguity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
