Nobody's Man

Nobody's Man

by E. Phillips Oppenheim

Brigadier General Andrew Tallente, a respected figure in Parliament, finds himself embroiled in a complex web of intrigue and suspicion when his male secretary, the son of an Eton classmate, is found dead. The secretary's alleged involvement in a scandalous affair with Tallente's American wife and the theft of sensitive political documents cast a dark shadow over the General's reputation. As political tensions escalate, the opposing party seeks to exploit the situation, inviting Tallente to lead their ranks. Meanwhile, the alluring heiress next door steps in to defend Tallente's honor, offering him not only support but also a possible spark of romance amidst the chaos.
