Summary

"The Running Fight" by William Hamilton Osborne unfolds a tale of vengeance and unexpected connection amid financial devastation in the early 1900s. After losing everything in a financial crisis, Giles Ilingsworth plans to confront Leslie Wilkinson, the daughter of a wealthy financier he believes is responsible for his ruin. Armed and full of anger, he arrives at the Wilkinsons' opulent home only to find Leslie, who is not the villain he imagined. As Ilingsworth wrestles with his desire for revenge, Leslie's innocence and charm challenge his assumptions, drawing him into a web of secrets and transforming their relationship in ways neither of them anticipated. This complicated relationship defines the narrative.
