Summary

"Midnight Passenger" by Richard Henry Savage follows Randall Clayton, a young man ensnared in a web of deceit and betrayal after his father's death. Under the watchful eye of his father's business partner, Hugh Worthington, and his scheming roommate, Arthur Ferris, Clayton navigates a perilous landscape filled with hidden agendas and looming threats. As he struggles to survive in New York, the weight of trust is placed solely on his friend Jack Witherspoon, who is soon bound for Europe. This gripping tale of ambition, loyalty, and the fight against corruption resonates today, reminding us of the timeless struggle against those who seek to exploit and undermine us for their gain.
