| Summary |
"Paholaisen silmä" by Øvre Richter Frich is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative opens with a mysterious incident where two chess players, both named Simpson and Greyburn, die suddenly during a tense game, puzzling onlookers and authorities alike. The story introduces an atmosphere filled with intrigue and Faustian elements, hinting at deeper connections and consequences of their deaths within a larger, sinister plot. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a compelling tale filled with suspense as it follows the aftermath of the shrouded dual demise of the two chess players. As authorities investigate, they uncover ties to a world of vice, deception, and mystery surrounding the deceased. The subsequent introduction of Ralph Burns and other key characters points to an exploration of crime and morality, highlighting a shadowy underbelly of society as they seek to understand the enigmatic circumstances of the players' deaths, ultimately suggesting that these events are merely the beginning of a much larger conspiracy linked to the titular "Satan's Eye."
