Devil's Paw

Devil's Paw

by E. Phillips Oppenheim

In the midst of a dangerous wartime landscape, a pivotal clandestine gathering unfolds on a desolate beach, shrouded in secrecy and shadowed by the specter of betrayal. A brilliant and enigmatic young woman, her loyalties uncertain, becomes entangled in a web of deception and intrigue. An enigmatic and wounded aristocrat, bearing the scars of war, emerges as a potential ally or a cunning adversary. As the lines between friend and foe blur and suspicions intensify, the boundaries of truth and deception are tested. With each passing moment, the stakes escalate, and the pursuit of peace or treachery hangs precariously in the balance.
