About this ebook

In the midst of World War I, the son of a British aristocrat and daughter of an English colonel are roped into a treasonous plot. They must navigate secret agents and spies who are convinced of their guilt. A chance meeting between Catherine Abbeway and Julian Orden leads to an intricate tale of suspicion and government corruption. Catherine is the daughter of an English colonel and is targeted due to secret files in her possession. Julian obtains the documents for fear that they may incriminate Catherine and confirm her as a traitor. Julian and Catherine becomes part of a growing conspiracy fueled by both English and German powers. The Devil’s Paw is a gripping tale of romance and political intrigue. E. Phillips Oppenheim offers a compelling commentary on Europe during one of its most vulnerable times. He delivers a complex narrative driven by bold characters informed by historical events.

E. Phillips Oppenheim

E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946) was a bestselling English novelist. Born in London, he attended London Grammar School until financial hardship forced his family to withdraw him in 1883. For the next two decades, he worked for his father’s business as a leather merchant, but pursued a career as a writer on the side. With help from his father, he published his first novel, Expiation, in 1887, launching a career that would see him write well over one hundred works of fiction. In 1892, Oppenheim married Elise Clara Hopkins, with whom he raised a daughter. During the Great War, Oppenheim wrote propagandist fiction while working for the Ministry of Information. As he grew older, he began dictating his novels to a secretary, at one point managing to compose seven books in a single year. With the success of such novels as The Great Impersonation (1920), Oppenheim was able to purchase a villa in France, a house on the island of Guernsey, and a yacht. Unable to stay in Guernsey during the Second World War, he managed to return before his death in 1946 at the age of 79.
