This is quite different from the other Oppenheim works that I've read. It's basically two collections of linked stories which originally appeared in Pearson's Magazine (which I've never heard of) between 1909 and 1911.
The protagonist, Peter Ruff, is a crook turned private investigator. The first group of stories are mostly self contained, but do have something of a story arc between them.
The second group is more of a serial novel, and deals more with intrigue (about the Double Four, a criminal organization) than mystery.
Quite like the first, not so much the second...
