Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In The Seven Secrets, William Le Queux fashions a brisk Edwardian mystery in which private crime, social deception, and international intrigue converge around a chain of revelations that must be deciphered before their full danger…is understood. The novel's method is characteristically episodic and suspense-driven: clues arrive as shocks, conversations conceal motives, and apparently respectable settings acquire an atmosphere of conspiracy. Written in the tradition of the late-Victorian sensation novel while anticipating the modern thriller, it combines melodramatic plotting with a journalist's appetite for topical unease. Le Queux was especially well placed to produce such fiction. Born in London to an Anglo-French family, he worked as a journalist, travelled widely, and became one of the most prolific popular novelists of his age. His fascination with diplomacy, espionage, technological communication, and hidden networks shaped much of his work. Even when not strictly a spy novel, The Seven Secrets reflects his enduring preoccupation with secrecy as a force operating beneath polite society. Readers who enjoy early crime fiction, labyrinthine plots, and the atmosphere of pre-war Europe will find The Seven Secrets rewarding. It is best approached as a vigorous popular thriller: ingenious, theatrical, and revealing of the anxieties that helped form twentieth-century suspense literature. 128 pp. Englisch.
