Grace Detective Story

Stephen Pryde has hit rock bottom – his business has failed due to international speculation on the stock market, and it seems there's only one way to settle his affairs. In this situation, he receives an extraordinary offer from the cold Grace Burton, owner of a detective agency with an unusual clientele. Who the mysterious Grace is and why she chose him is just one of many questions that arise as the pair soon find themselves caught in a whirlwind of political intrigue.
British writer E. Phillips Oppenheim was considered a master of popular literature and spy novels shortly before the First World War and in the interwar period. He wrote more than a hundred books, many of which were adapted into films. The novel The Amazing Partnership was published in an abridged form as Detective Grace after 1945. The text has been digitised from the original edition with minimal edits.
