Mr. Incoul’s Misadventure by Edgar Saltus is a short novel blending moral intrigue with social commentary. Set in Gilded Age New York, it revolves around a wealthy man who becomes entangled in a scheme involving deception and retribution. Saltus’s refined, aphoristic prose elevates the story beyond melodrama into a study of power, guilt, and psychological complexity. The work is characteristic of Saltus’s fascination with decadence and morality.
