About this book
Devil's Paw by E. Phillips Oppenheim propels you into a shadowy post‑war landscape where a single choice can blur the line between patriot and traitor. Against windswept marshes and shabby country parlors, Oppenheim weaves an atmospheric mystery of clandestine meetings, covert loyalties, and the long echoes of war.
A beautiful, enigmatic young woman sits at the story’s center—her motives unreadable; an aristocratic soldier, scarred by service, moves through society with equal parts honor and secrecy. As secrets ripple from private rooms to lonely beaches, the novel unspools into a taut spy story full of moral ambiguity, social scrutiny, and adventurous twists. Rich with period detail and literary polish, Devil's Paw reflects the aftershocks of World War I: the fragile peace, the rise of espionage, and the tension between public duty and private passion.
Perfect for fans of classic spy thrillers, literary mystery, and vintage adventure, this audiobook rewards listeners who love suspenseful plotting, evocative historical atmosphere, and characters who refuse easy answers. Listen for Oppenheim’s elegant pacing and the slow-building tension that keeps loyalties—and hearts—on edge.
