| Summary | "The Strange People" by Murray Leinster is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows a young man named Cunningham, who, after inheriting a fortune, embarks on a journey of adventure and romance in search of a mysterious girl named Maria, who is tied to a group known as the Strange People living in the hills of New Hampshire. As Cunningham dives deeper into this intrigue, he uncovers the complex dynamics between the locals, the strangers, and the potential dangers that accompany his quest for love. At the start of the book, Cunningham boards a train to Bendale, New Hampshire, driven by dreams of adventure and the allure of Maria, whose photograph he possesses. However, his journey takes a dark turn when he learns of the murder of a foreign man linked to the Strange People, raising suspicions and escalating tensions between the locals and the enigmatic group. As he arrives at his destination, Cunningham teams up with Gray, a fellow traveler, only to find themselves embroiled in a dangerous conflict fueled by suspicion and violence. The early chapters set a tense atmosphere, blending elements of mystery, romance, and the confrontation of hidden truths, establishing a compelling narrative that urges readers to explore the secrets of the Strange People along with Cunningham.
