Summary | "The Double Four" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Peter Ruff, a man who has attempted to leave behind a life of intrigue and danger for a peaceful existence on his estate in Somerset. However, he is drawn back into the world of espionage and manipulation by the enigmatic Madame de Maupassim, who has just passed away, leaving Ruff to navigate treacherous alliances, a secret organization known as the Double Four, and the political tensions of Europe. The opening of the novel introduces Peter Ruff as he receives a mysterious summons from Madame de Maupassim, which disrupts his idyllic rural life. Despite initially resisting the call back into his past, he feels compelled to follow the trail of his wife's whereabouts, who has seemingly vanished. As the narrative unfolds, we learn of Ruff's complex relationship with power and ambition, his recruitment into the clandestine activities of the Double Four, and the dramatic events that ensue as he confronts the legacies left by Madame. The beginning sets a tone of unfolding suspense and the duality of character, emphasizing Ruff's struggle as he is thrust back into a world he thought he had escaped.
