About this ebook
Fun story collection about an upper-class conman who seduces rich women by taking them for a drive in his flashy motors. A polished frequenter of the most exclusive hotels and known variously as 'his Highness Prince Albert of Hesse-Holstein, alias Charles Fotheringham, alias Henry Tremlett,' as well as other names besides, the phoney prince and his cronies, including the Rev. Thomas Clayton, are always on the look out for a suitable mark. Their elaborate grifts take shape in a bevy of exotic settings such as Belgrade, Florence, Rome, Sofia, San Remo and, er, Stamford in Lincolnshire (it's very pretty you know!) However, they are not the only crooks on the scene, the continent turns out to be a veritable hornet's nest of swindlers. (Goodreads) This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author
William Tufnell Le Queux (2 July 1864 – 13 October 1927) was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter becoming a bestseller.
