The Lady in the Car (1908) is a novel by Anglo-French writer
William Le Queux. Published at the height of Le Queux's career as a
leading author of popular thrillers, The Lady in the Car is a story
of romance, adventure, and international crime. Using his own
research and experience as a journalist and adventurer, Le Queux
crafts an accessible, entertaining world for readers in search of a
literary escape. Known for his works of fiction and nonfiction on
the possibility of Germany invading Britain-a paranoia common in
the early twentieth century-William Le Queux also wrote dozens of
thrillers and adventure novels for a dedicated public audience.
Although critical acclaim eluded him, popular success made him one
of England's bestselling writers. In The Lady in the Car, the
narrator reveals his firsthand knowledge of the shadowy figure
known across Europe as Prince Albert of Hesse-Holstein-in addition
to a number of other elaborate aliases. Renowned for his
international connections, debonair attitude, and remarkable
generosity, the Prince is a smooth criminal who, with the help of
his trusted accomplices, runs a lucrative criminal enterprise in
broad daylight. Gifted with a chameleon-like ability to change his
appearance, the Prince targets wealthy men and women looking for a
way to raise their influence in aristocratic society. Using his
state-of-the-art Mercedes as both a symbol of his power and a
powerful getaway vehicle, the Prince is more than happy to oblige
the fantasies of those with wealth to spare. When an unsuspecting
victim turns out to be an extremely powerful woman, the Prince and
his gang of thieves find themselves scrambling to not only keep
their operation secret, but to keep themselves from going to prison
for the rest of their lives. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Le
Queux's The Lady in the Car is a classic novel reimagined for
modern readers.
