The Great Prince Shan
1922
London, 1922. The world is holding its breath. In the mahogany shadows of a gentlemen's club, diplomats whisper of war, assassinations, and the approaching visit of a figure who could tilt the balance of power: the great Prince Shan of China. Young Nigel Kingley finds himself thrust into a treacherous game of nations, where conversation is currency and every handshake might conceal a dagger. As he navigates the treacherous waters of international diplomacy alongside his uncle Lord Dorminster and the enigmatic Lady Maggie Trent, Nigel discovers that the fate of empires may hinge on a single bullet, a single choice, a single moment of weakness. Oppenheim, the master of the pre-WWII political thriller, weaves a tale of elegant menace where nothing is as it seems and loyalty is a currency more volatile than gold. For readers who savor the smoky intrigue of le Carré's ancestors or the sophisticated suspense of John Buchan, this is a time capsule of empire trembling at the edge of history.
