I wish I could write as fast as Paul Doherty... This father of seven children, headmaster of a big comprehensive school writes mostly historical mystery novels, under a variety of pseudonyms. Lately, though, he seems to have started to use his real name for almost all his output. Paul Doherty, Paul Harding, Michael Clynes, Ann Dukthas, C.L. Grace, and Anna Apostolou — it's all the same author.
E. Phillips Oppenheim, or Oppy as Wodehouse called him, was a prolific writer of the best kind of adventurous spy trash. Most of his work seems to center around the First World War and the intrigues leading up to it. Russian princesses. Stolen plans. Impersonations. Champagne. Monte Carlo. Blue Train. Sinister spies. Damsels in distress.
This is one you can read yourself: If you click on the buy this book link (on the right, or right here), you won't be taken to Amazon, but to Project Gutenberg, where you can download the e-text of The Great Impersonation
I've been on an Oppenheim roll, ever since Irina bought me my third Oppy — The Great Impersonation.

Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably Priced Love! A Hard-boiled Egg! What with one thing and another, I'm feeling a bit down, and possible out, too. So I went back to an old mainstay of mine. Something I can read when even Wodehouse is too demanding.
