E. Phillips Oppenheim ist ein bekannter britischer Autor, der für seine spannenden Krimi, Romantik und Thriller-Romane berühmt ist. Er wurde 1866 in London als Sohn von Edward Oppenheimer, einem Lederhändler, und seiner Frau Henrietta Budd Oppenheimer geboren. Oppenheim verbrachte einen bedeutenden Teil seiner Kindheit mit Unterstützung in dem Geschäft seines Vaters und nach dem Verlassen der Schule mit 16 Jahren arbeitete er dort full-time. Er verbrachte mehr als zwei Dekaden in dem Familienunternehmen, bevor er sich dem Schreiben zuwandte. Oppenheims erster Roman, "Expiation", wurde 1887 veröffentlicht, und er schrieb weiterhin unter dem Pseudonym Anthony Partridge.
Nach dem Tod seines Vaters konzentrierte sich Oppenheim mehr auf seine Schreibkarriere und begann, unter seinem echten Namen erfolgreiche Werke zu veröffentlichen. Einige seiner bekanntesten Romane sind "Der Mönch von Cruta" (1894), "Der geheimnisvolle Mr. Sabin" (1898) und "Der berühmte Prinz" (1910). Seine Romane sind bekannt für ihre Intrige, internationale Spionage und Alltagsallegorien, mit einer Reihe von Helden aus der Rogue-Tradition hochgeborener Männer bis hin zu Spionen und raffinierten Feinschmeckern. Oppenheims Werke wurden in über 30 Filme adaptiert, wobei sein bekanntestes Werk, "The Great Impersonation" (1920), drei Mal verfilmt wurde. Er gilt weitgehend als der früheste Schriftsteller von Spionageliteratur, wie wir sie heute kennen, und wird für die Erfindung der "Rogue Male"-Schule von Abenteuerthrillern anerkannt. Der literarische Erfolg von Oppenheim ermöglichte ihm, ein luxuriöses Leben zu führen, indem er ein Villa in Frankreich und ein Yacht kaufte und mehr als 250 Menschen zu seinen Partys in der High Society unterhielt. Er schrieb 116 Romane, 39 Bände mit Kurzgeschichten und fünf Romane unter dem Pseudonym Anthony Partridge sowie ein Buch mit Memoiren, "The Pool of Memory" (1939).
