The Reward

The Reward is a short story by Melville Davisson Post, first published in 1911. As with many of Post's works, this story falls into the mystery genre, but it also touches on themes of morality, justice, and human nature. The plot revolves around a moral dilemma and a crime, and like many of Post's stories, it explores how individuals are driven by their personal codes of ethics and how they interpret justice.
