The Silent Barrier

First published in 1907, The Silent Barrier carries readers high into the snowbound Swiss Alps, where a chance meeting at a remote mountain hotel draws a traveler into a web of secrecy, pursuit, and unexpected love. A young woman is traveling under a name that is not her own; someone is following her; and the towering peaks that shelter her may prove as dangerous as the man she flees. Louis Tracy weaves romance, mystery, and high-mountain peril into a story of courage, loyalty, and quiet devotion, building to a dramatic alpine climax. This edition reproduces the complete, unabridged original text exactly as first published, accompanied by a new introduction that places the novel in its historical moment and reader's notes that illuminate the period details, places, and customs modern readers may encounter along the way. A treat for lovers of classic adventure and Edwardian romance. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
