Summary

"Running the Gauntlet: A Novel" by Edmund Yates is a 19th-century fiction book about the twists and turns of law and relationships within London’s upper class. The story follows Edward Moss, a lawyer who works with dangerous people, and the linked lives of folks around him. His law firm, Moss and Moss, takes on strange cases, including representing criminals. Edward's concentration on tough crimes is different from his brother Marshall, who enjoys a more exciting social life. Inspector Stellfox brings news of different cases, showing a big mix of criminal actions and how the social scene works. Sir Charles Mitford and Lady Mitford are introduced, setting the scene for romance, societal drama, and witty views on the values of the time.
