About this ebook

Ten short stories set in the grill room of the Milan Hotel in London.
The first nine stories in this collection were “syndicated,” and published during the 1930s in British, American, Australian and other magazines. The tenth story was probably written specifically to complete this book collection, and was not published in a magazine until as late as 1967. A sequel, “The Milan Grill Room,” was published in 1940.
The two books star Louis, the disabled maître d’hôtel, and Charles Lyson, ex-intelligence agent and now freelance journalist.
Collection of stories: “The Mayor of Ballydaghan,” “Tragedy Dined With Lord Blunt,” “A Rough-House at Elstree,” “The Third Shot,” “The Hour of Reckoning,” “Murder at the Milan,” “Julie Joins the Force,” “The Three Strangers,” “Bunglers at the Game” and “The Flower of Death.”

Author

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.
