A chilling game of shadows, deception, and high-stakes diplomacy unfolds in The Double Four, one of Oppenheim's most gripping spy thrillers. Following the disbandment of the infamous "Four," a new and even more dangerous group emerges-the "Double Four," a secret alliance of criminal masterminds and covert operatives operating across Europe. At the center is Mr. Peter B. Ledsam, a former British agent who finds himself reluctantly drawn back into the perilous world of espionage.As he navigates the dark corridors of international intrigue, Ledsam must face former allies, formidable enemies, and a mysterious woman whose loyalties are uncertain. From opulent drawing rooms in London to the shadowy backstreets of the Continent, Oppenheim crafts a taut, sophisticated narrative where secrets are currency, and trust is a luxury few can afford. With elegant prose and pulse-pounding suspense, The Double Four cements Oppenheim's reputation as a pioneer of the modern spy novel.
