The Investigations of Clara Linz: The Classic 1920s Mystery Stories

THE "MISTRESS OF MANHUNTING" - ELLERY QUEEN In these eleven mystery tales, E. Phillips Oppenheim ("a master of mystery" ~New York World), the master of spy and mystery thrillers, takes us to London in the early 20th Century and the world of Clara, Baroness Linz - English by birth, Austrian by marriage, and cosmopolitan by choice. Self-supporting and independent long before women's liberation. Clara founds a detective agency because, as she remarks to a friend, "most of the vocations for women are so overcrowded, and I wanted something to do." Clara is young and beautiful, with a sympathetic manner - everyone's ideal of a lovely, intelligent, woman. The eleven puzzles that she unravels in this collection range from the Empire-threatening, when a newspaper owner has the power to topple the government, to the curious tale of a debutant's broken engagement. Although the rogues in these tales may be villainous, they are never dull. Oppenheim, the most successful suspense novelist of the 1890s-1920s with over 130 books to his credit, has been called "a past master of the art of telling a story" by the New York Times. The Boston Post raved that "Oppenheim has few equals among modern novelists - a clever weaver of the plausible with the sensational in the invention of mysterious plots." His works include The Great Impersonation, The Box with the Broken Seals, and The Malefactor.
