Summary "The Devil's Paw" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story follows Julian Orden, a barrister, and his companion Miles Furley, who is a Labour Member of Parliament, as they navigate a tense and mysterious political landscape filled with espionage and moral dilemmas during wartime. The interactions between the characters hint at themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of political belief systems, particularly concerning the war. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a cold, stormy night in a modest cottage where Furley and Julian share a port. Their conversation quickly turns to the prospect of peace and the shadow of espionage hovering over them. Julian learns of a young woman, Catherine Abbeway, who becomes entangled in ominous circumstances when her car is linked to a spy that was recently shot. As the plot unfolds, Julian discovers darker truths about the people around him, leading to secrets that could threaten lives, including Catherine's. The stakes are heightened by Julian's commitment to protect her while grappling with his own ethical dilemmas regarding espionage, loyalty, and justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
