Oppenheim’s short story collections are nearly as extensive as his novels. The 40 collections listed here span from “The Long Arm of Mannister” (1908) to modern reprint editions from 2016, covering decades of mystery and adventure fiction.
Many of these collections follow a single character through linked stories. “Peter Ruff and the Double Four,” “Dodd’s International Detective Agency,” and “Nicholas Goade, Detective” each center on a recurring protagonist, while others like “Sinners Beware” and “Crooks in the Sunshine” offer standalone tales of crime and suspense.
