The Illustrious Prince is a novel written by E. Phillips Oppenheim, first published in 1910. The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of Prince Maiyo, a wealthy and influential member of the Japanese royal family. The protagonist of the story is Richard Scarsdale, a young and ambitious Englishman who is hired by Prince Maiyo's family to investigate his disappearance. Scarsdale travels to Japan and begins to unravel a complex web of political intrigue and personal rivalries that may have led to the prince's disappearance. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful Japanese princess, a cunning American businessman, and a ruthless Russian spy. As Scarsdale delves deeper into the case, he must also confront his own growing feelings for the princess and the moral implications of his investigation. The Illustrious Prince is a thrilling tale of mystery, romance, and international intrigue, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Japan.Along Pall Mall the taxi in which she was seated gained considerably, but in the Park and along the Bird Cage Walk both the other taxies, risking the police regulations, drew almost alongside. Once past Hyde Park Corner, however, her cab again drew ahead, and when she was deposited in front of Harrod's Stores, her pursuers were out of sight. She paid the driver quickly, a little over double his fare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
