About this ebook
William Le Queux
William Le Queux (1864-1927) was an Anglo-French journalist, novelist, and radio broadcaster. Born in London to a French father and English mother, Le Queux studied art in Paris and embarked on a walking tour of Europe before finding work as a reporter for various French newspapers. Towards the end of the 1880s, he returned to London where he edited Gossip and Piccadilly before being hired as a reporter for The Globe in 1891. After several unhappy years, he left journalism to pursue his creative interests. Le Queux made a name for himself as a leading writer of popular fiction with such espionage thrillers as The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906). In addition to his writing, Le Queux was a notable pioneer of early aviation and radio communication, interests he maintained while publishing around 150 novels over his decades long career.

Reviews for The Golden Face
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Golden Face by William Le Queux is the not particularly interesting tale of a Post-WWI soldier who takes up a position as secretary and chauffeur to a businessman, only to discover that his boss is, in fact, head of a criminal gang. Le Queux is not as fluid a writer as, say, E. Phillips Oppenheim, and so it's not really a surprise that this book has been forgotten. I read it on my Kindle using OpenLibrary.org.
