Description
E. Phillips Oppenheim, author of The Lighted Way and Havoc, writes The Mischief-Maker, a 1913 novel of diplomacy and intrigue, illustrated by Hanson Booth. Book one moves through sympathy and selfishness, an indiscreet letter, a ruined career, a bunch of violets. A sentimental episode, before reaching the Cafe de l'Athenee, coffee for three, Paris, Madame Christophor, and better acquaintance. A toymaker from Leipzig, the Rat Mort, politics and patriotism, and a meeting of socialists follow.
Behind closed doors, love, offers, and Falkenberg's actions drive book two, as a mischief-maker stirs nations and hearts alike. Oppenheim, the prince of Edwardian thriller writers, blends romance with pre-war espionage. Readers who enjoy suave spies, Paris cafes, and diplomatic danger will find a fast, polished entertainment. A snapshot of Europe on the edge of war, seen through a popular novelist's eyes.
