The Apple of Discord by Earle Ashley Walcott is a gripping narrative set in the bustling city of San Francisco, where the protagonist, a fledgling attorney named Hampden, becomes embroiled in a longstanding feud between two powerful figures, Colonel Wharton Kendrick and Peter Bolton. The story begins with Kendrick inviting Hampden to lunch, where he reveals his suspicions about Bolton's intentions and enlists Hampden's help in uncovering Bolton's plans. Hampden's investigation leads him into the heart of San Francisco's underworld, where he encounters the Council of Nine, a group of anarchists and socialists with whom Bolton has aligned himself. The narrative unfolds with Hampden navigating through a web of intrigue, deceit, and danger, as he attempts to uncover the true nature of Bolton's schemes. Along the way, Hampden encounters a colorful cast of characters, including the fiery orator Parks, the disillusioned contractor Merwin, and the charismatic drayman Denis Kearney. The story is rich with themes of social justice, class struggle, and the quest for power, set against the backdrop of a city teetering on the brink of chaos. As Hampden delves deeper into the mystery, he must confront his own beliefs and the moral complexities of the world around him, leading to a dramatic and thought-provoking conclusion.
