Nobody’s Man

E. Philips Oppenheim

Summary

When Andrew Tallente, after loosing his seat in Parlament, struck his secretary, Anthony Palliser, who had conspired with Andrew’s wife and stolen precious political papers from him, he did not expect to see Palliser crash through the railing at the cliff edge and go sprawling into the mists below. Upon search below, no trace of either Palliser or the stolen papers could be found.
Andrew’s wife left him, but Lady Jane Parthington, a neigbour, succeeded in restoring partially his lost confidence in himself, and he took prominent place in the councils of the newly-formed Democratic party. Subsequently, the missing papers, which were of such nature as to make the trade-unions inimical to Tallente and the new party, should they be printed, turned up in dangerous hands.
There is excitement aplenty in this story of English politics. Mr. Oppenheims inventive genious is unfailing, and, as always, his dexterity in creating tangles and then unraveling them brings surprise after surprise to the reader.
