In none of Mr. Oppenheim's fascinating and absorbing books has he better
illustrated his remarkable faculty for holding the reader's interest to
the end than in "The Betrayal." The efforts of the French Secret Service
to obtain important papers relating to the Coast Defence of England are
the _motif_ of its remarkable plot.
A MILLIONAIRE OF YESTERDAY
Illustrated by J. W. G. KENNEDY. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50
Mr. Oppenheim has never written a better story than "A Millionaire of
Yesterday." He grips the reader's attention at the start by his vivid
picture of the two men in the West African bush making a grim fight for
life and fortune, and he holds it to the finish. The volume is thrilling
throughout, while the style is excellent.
THE MAN AND HIS KINGDOM
Illustrated by CH. GRUNWALD. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50
This brilliant, nervous, and intensely dramatic tale of love, intrigue,
and revolution in a South American State is so human and life-like that
the reader is bewildered by the writer's evident daring, and his equal
fidelity to things as they are.
