The Devil's Paw
1920
On a howling night across the English marshes, barrister Julian Orden and Labour MP Miles Furley linger over port in a threadbare cottage, discussing peace and the shadows of espionage that hang over their world. When Julian learns that a young woman named Catherine Abbeway has been linked to a murdered spy through her own abandoned car, he becomes entangled in a web of dangerous secrets, political treachery, and moral compromise. The question is no longer merely who fired the shot, but who can be trusted when every ally might be a betrayer and every truth a weapon. Oppenheim crafts a taut meditation on loyalty in wartime, where protection and betrayal wear the same face, and where a man's duty to justice may demand he become something less than just. For fans of early espionage fiction who prefer their thrillers with psychological weight rather than machine-gun fire.
