| Summary | "The Spy in Black" by J. Storer Clouston is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely during the time of World War I. The story follows Lieutenant Conrad von Belke of the German Navy, who is sent on a clandestine mission to British territory, highlighting themes of espionage, danger, and shifting identities. The narrative focuses on the trials he faces as he attempts to navigate enemy territories while maintaining his cover. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a calm, moonlit bay where the lieutenant arrives via submarine, ready to commence his secretive assignment. Despite initial confidence, he experiences nervousness about being discovered while trying to reach his destination undetected. After managing a precarious landing with a motor-bicycle, he soon finds himself in a series of misadventures, including an unfortunate mishap with saltwater that puts his mission at risk. As he attempts to blend in while exploring the unfamiliar landscape by day, the challenges of remaining undetected intensify, particularly when encountering an old woman who might recognize his foreign demeanor. Thus, the opening sets up an intriguing premise filled with suspense and the looming threat of capture, making it an engaging read for fans of spy fiction.
