The Red Window

"The Red Window" by Fergus Hume is a tale that unravels a web of family drama, forbidden love, and puzzling mysteries in a world bound by wealth and social class. The spotlight shines on Bernard Gore, a soldier caught between his stern grandfather's disapproval and his love for Alice Malleson, a woman whose background raises eyebrows. Just as Bernard confides in his old pal Conniston about his disinheritance and a strange family story about a "Red Window" at Cove Castle used for important family messages, the story takes a sharp turn when Sir Simon passes away suddenly. This event plunges Bernard into a world of doubt and suspicion. The twists and turns keep you guessing as the characters seek justice and attempt to discover the truth.
