This carefully crafted ebook: "The Spy Paramount (Thriller Classic)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Extract: "General Berati looked at his visitor, as he motioned to a chair, with very much the same stony indifference with which he had regarded him in the barber's shop at Nice. Their eyes met and they exchanged one long, calculating glance. Fawley felt the spell of the man from that moment. Often afterwards he wondered why he had not felt it, even when he had seen him with his face half covered with lather and his fingers plunged into the silver bowl." E. Phillips Oppenheim, the Prince of Storytellers (1866-1946) was an internationally renowned author of mystery and espionage thrillers. His novels and short stories have all the elements of blood-racing adventure and intrigue and are precursors of modern-day spy fictions.

Alec, a wealthy man in a loveless marriage, falls for widow Julie Gregor but struggles to divorce his wife, Maida. Intimate, intense, sensually alive, Memory of Love is the story of a last love--an adventure that becomes an obsession, a fierce necessity of the heart and the flesh. In its penetrating analysis of love's ecstasy and egotism, tenderness and brutality, it has never been surpassed, and it is recognized today as one of the half-dozen enduring novels of our time.
