The Fortune Hunter is a novel by Louis Joseph Vance that tells the story of a young American heiress named Miss Betty Van de Poel, who travels to Europe in search of adventure and romance. While in London, she meets a dashing British aristocrat named Sir Nigel Anstruthers, who is known for his charm and good looks. Despite warnings from her friends and family, Betty falls deeply in love with Sir Nigel and agrees to marry him.However, as she gets to know him better, Betty realizes that Sir Nigel is not the man she thought he was. He is selfish, manipulative, and only interested in her money. Desperate to escape her unhappy marriage, Betty turns to a handsome American named Jim Anthony, who is determined to win her heart.As Betty struggles to navigate the complexities of love and money, she must also contend with the social norms and expectations of high society. Will she be able to find true love and happiness, or will she be trapped in a loveless marriage for the rest of her life? The Fortune Hunter is a captivating tale of love, betrayal, and the pursuit of wealth and happiness.1910. American screenwriter, short story writer and novelist begins The Fortune Hunter: Receiver at ear, Spaulding, of Messrs. Atwater and Spaulding, importers of motoring garments and accessories, listened to the switchboard operator's announcement with grave attention, acknowledging it with a toneless: All right. Send him in. Then hooking up the desk telephone he swung round in his chair to face the door of his private office, and in a brief ensuing interval painstakingly ironed out of his face and attitude every indication of the frame of mind in which he awaited his caller. It was, as a matter of fact, anything but a pleasant one: he had a distasteful duty to perform; but that was the last thing he designed to become evident.
