Produktbeschreibung
In 'The Mysterious Mr. Miller,' William Le Queux weaves a tantalizing tale of intrigue and espionage set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe. Known for his vivid prose and intricate plotting, Le Queux captures the era's paranoia and political tensions, interspersing his narrative with suspenseful twists that keep the reader on edge. The book delves into themes of identity and deception, expertly reflecting the societal anxieties of its time while employing a literary style characterized by sharp dialogue and atmospheric descriptions that transport the reader into a world of shadowy figures and covert operations. William Le Queux was a prolific writer and journalist whose experiences as a war correspondent and spy inform his narrative. Born in 1864 in London, he developed a keen interest in issues of national security and international conflict, which pervades his work. His understanding of espionage, along with a fascination for the arcane and the uncanny, serves not only as the foundation for this novel but as a testament to the pre-World War I milieu that often played a pivotal role in shaping his writing. Readers who seek a compelling blend of mystery and historical drama will find 'The Mysterious Mr. Miller' an enthralling read. It not only showcases Le Queux's mastery of suspense but also invites reflection on the interplay of truth and illusion in a tumultuous world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in early detective fiction and the complexities of human motives.

Autorenporträt
Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux was born on July 2, 1864, and died on October 13, 1927. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveler (in Europe, the Balkans, and North Africa), a fan of flying (he presided over the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909), and a wireless pioneer who played music on his own station long before radio was widely available. However, he often exaggerated his own skills and accomplishments. The Great War in England in 1897 (1894), a fantasy about an invasion by France and Russia, and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), a fantasy about an invasion by Germany, are his best-known works. Le Queux was born in the city. The man who raised him was English, and his father was French. He went to school in Europe and learned art in Paris from Ignazio (or Ignace) Spiridon. As a young man, he walked across Europe and then made a living by writing for French newspapers. He moved back to London in the late 1880s and managed the magazines Gossip and Piccadilly. In 1891, he became a parliamentary reporter for The Globe. He stopped working as a reporter in 1893 to focus on writing and traveling.
