This early edition of “The Golden Beast” by E. Phillips Oppenheim offers collectors a glimpse into the golden age of mystery fiction. Oppenheim, a prolific British author, was a contemporary of Agatha Christie and helped popularize the thriller genre in the early 20th century. While not as renowned today, his works were immensely popular during his lifetime and influenced many later writers.

The wear and aging only add to its vintage charm, transporting readers back to the era of country estates, intrigue, and daring adventures that defined Oppenheim’s narratives.
