Peter Ruff and the Double Four (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161448047)

Peter Ruff and the Double Four is a mystery novel written by E. Phillips Oppenheim. The story follows Peter Ruff, a wealthy and intelligent man who is also a master detective. Ruff is approached by a woman named Lady Patricia, who believes that her husband is in danger from a secret society known as the Double Four. The Double Four is a group of criminals who are known for their ability to evade the law and operate in secret. Ruff takes on the case and sets out to uncover the truth about the Double Four and their plans for Lady Patricia's husband. Along the way, he encounters a cast of intriguing characters, including a beautiful spy and a mysterious millionaire. As Ruff delves deeper into the case, he must use all of his wit and intelligence to stay one step ahead of the Double Four and protect his clients. The novel is a thrilling and suspenseful tale of intrigue and deception, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing until the very end.The whole epitome of modern life was, he argued, to be found among the columns of the daily press. The police news, perhaps, was his favourite study, but he did not neglect the advertisements. It followed, therefore, as a matter of course, that the appeal of ""M"" in the personal column of the Daily Mail was read by him on the morning of its appearance - read not once only nor twice - it was a paragraph which had its own peculiar interest for him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
