Produktbeschreibung
Fun story collection about an upper-class conman who seduces rich women by taking them for a drive in his flashy motors. A polished frequenter of the most exclusive hotels and known variously as 'his Highness Prince Albert of Hesse-Holstein, alias Charles Fotheringham, alias Henry Tremlett,' as well as other names besides, the phoney prince and his cronies, including the Rev. Thomas Clayton, are always on the look out for a suitable mark. Their elaborate grifts take shape in a bevy of exotic settings such as Belgrade, Florence, Rome, Sofia, San Remo and, er, Stamford in Lincolnshire (it's very pretty you know!) However, they are not the only crooks on the scene, the continent turns out to be a veritable hornet's nest of swindlers. (Goodreads)

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.
