A People's Man-
How a socialistic leader became involved in international affairs.
The Vanished Messenger-
What resulted when the Powers conspired against England.
A Lost Leader-
A realistic romance woven around a striking personality."Mr. Oppenheim almost persuades us into the belief that he has really been able to break down the wall of secrecy which always surrounds the construction of a Cabinet, and has decided to make an exposure on the lines of a well-known American writer. He also touches upon the evils of gambling in Society circles in a manner which should be applauded by Father Vaughan, and, in addition, treats us to a romance which is full of originality and interest from first to last."
The Illustrious Prince-
The Emperor of Japan, suspecting an ulterior motive in the world cruise of the American battleship fleet, despatches his cousin, Prince Maiyo, on a mission to learn the secret if one existed. The Prince arrives in London, is entertained in high circles there and receives considerable attention from some of the women, notably Miss Penelope Morse, an American by birth, but one who had lived most of her life in England. Two murders are committed, both victims being Americans in the diplomatic service. All along Prince Maiyo is suspected, and when his guilt has been almost positively established his servant comes forth and confesses to having committed both crimes, thus saving for his country a life which he deems of far more value to it than his own.
The Evil Shepherd-
A novel of English life of a melodramatic character, so fascinating and so stirring that the most hardened reader can hardly fail to receive a series of thrills.
The Kingdom of the Blind-
A story of WWI Espionage.
The Mischief Maker-
A blending of love, romance, and international intrigue.
The Tempting of Tavernake-
In which an unromantic Englishman falls in love and learns something about women.
