The name of the British writer Edward Phillips-Oppenheim is virtually unknown to the Russian reader, although in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century few European and American authors of the detective, spy and adventure genre could match him in circulation, popularity and influence on tabloid literature. He wrote over 100 novels, more than a third of which were screened in the first few years after the books were published. He dashingly twisted plots, generously used hoaxes, gave the heroes in the hands of secret weapons, freely moved the action around the globe, uncovered political intrigue - in general, gave readers the pleasure of light reading, so necessary to them after the world war, political and economic upheaval. In Soviet Russia, where just at that time was declared a campaign against "Pinkertonovshchina in literature, his works did not get. Later, when the detective and adventure were "rehabilitated", his fame has already been eclipsed by young followers, so you are in some ways a unique edition of the famous detective.
