Summary

"Whoso Findeth a Wife" by William Le Queux is a story set in the late 1800s, focusing on Geoffrey Deedes, who works for the Earl of Warnham. The story kicks off with Geoffrey dealing with a pressing letter about a shaky agreement between countries and juggling tricky relationships in his own life. When his friend Dudley Ogle is discovered dead suspiciously, Geoffrey's job and feelings get all mixed up, especially because he's in love with Ella Laing. Now, Geoffrey is trying to clear his name from false accusations and solve his friend's murder, all while trying to protect his country. This creates a suspenseful atmosphere that promises political games and personal stories.

About the Author

William Tufnell Le Queux was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat, a traveller, a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter becoming a bestseller.
