Ghosts of Society

Beschreibung

GHOSTS OF SOCIETY There are seven of them, seven of the cleverest, brightest individuals in British society, and they call themselves "the Ghosts." Jaded by life, suffering an ennui of the soul, they have banded together to right a few wrongs, robbing from the greedy rich and contributing the spoils to needy hospitals. But one night they snub the wrong person, a young American named Sophy Van Heldt. Sophy finances an investigation of these seven well-meaning "Ghosts" that changes all their lives forever. Soon violence enters their world, and Lord Evelyn, their leader, is called upon to question the very meaning of his existence-by becoming a Ghost, what has he lost as a man?

Autor

Edward Phillips Oppenheim was an English author who lived from October 22, 1866, to February 3, 1946. He wrote a lot of best-selling genre fiction with glamorous characters, international drama, and fast-paced action. They were popular forms of fun because they were easy to read. In 1927, he was on the cover of Time magazine. Edward Phillips Oppenheim was born in Tottenham, London, on October 22, 1866. His parents were Henrietta Susannah Temperley Budd and a leather merchant named Edward John Oppenheim. He went to Wyggeston Grammar School until the sixth form in 1883, but had to quit because his family couldn't afford it. For almost twenty years, he worked in his father's business. His father helped pay for the release of his first book, which did just enough to cover its costs. It was under the name "Anthony Partridge" that he released five of his books from 1908 to 1912.
