E. Phillips Oppenheim (1866-1946) was one of the most popular and prolific English novelists of the early twentieth century. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote well over 100 novels and dozens of short story collections, specializing in tales of espionage, diplomacy, mystery, and high society.
His novels often feature wealthy protagonists caught up in international intrigue, with settings in Monte Carlo, London, and the capitals of Europe. Books like “The Great Impersonation” (1920) and “The Spy Paramount” (1934) helped establish conventions of the spy thriller genre that later writers would build on. Though less read today than in his heyday, Oppenheim’s work had a major influence on popular fiction and the development of the thriller.
