Synopsis

In "Gabriel Samara," E. Phillips Oppenheim crafts a compelling narrative that weaves intrigue and romance within the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe. The novel, characterized by Oppenheim's trademark fluid prose and keen psychological insight, explores themes of identity, ambition, and betrayal. It navigates the complexities of the human condition through its engaging protagonist, Gabriel, whose encounters with various societal factions reveal both the glamour and the moral ambiguities of his time. As a work of fiction, it reflects the shifting dynamics of a post-Victorian society, intertwining personal ambitions with broader historical currents. Oppenheim, a prolific author known as the "Prince of Storytellers," was deeply influenced by the societal changes and cultural tensions of his era. His background in journalism and his experiences in London during a time of turbulent political change allowed him to develop a keen sense of narrative suspense and character development. This exposure not only informed his literary voice but also provided a rich tapestry of contexts for his characters, enhancing the realism of their dilemmas. "Gabriel Samara" is highly recommended for readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of character and society through the lens of a master storyteller. Oppenheim's nuanced portrayal of ambition and moral conflict invites readers to reflect on the age-old question of what it truly means to seek one's place in the world.

    The sport of kings is the backdrop for a game of murder where one player loses more than the match. Can Cleo solve the case, or will the murderer win? 
    Summer has arrived along with a plethora of social events that keep Cleo and her cousins busy. Between balls, dinners, concerts and picnics, they attend the final match between two proud polo clubs. When the winning team’s captain is found murdered in the stables, everyone assumes the opposing team’s captain killed him. After all, he was found holding the murder weapon, and everyone knows they hated each other.  
    But Cleo isn’t convinced. She sets out to prove his innocence alongside Harry Armitage, who was employed to investigate the accused man’s family. With their cases overlapping, it makes sense to work together.  
    The more they get to know the victim, the more they realize the handsome athlete sported a dark side that few people saw. Those who did had a reason to kill him. Which suspect struck the victim with his own polo mallet? His wife, lover, friends or colleagues?  
    Or did the rivalry between two opposing captains spill over to their personal lives, and lead to murder?
