The story is set in London and revolves around the lives of two young men, Richard French and his friend, Robert Turold. Richard is a struggling artist who dreams of making it big in the art world, while Robert is a wealthy businessman who is engaged to Richard's sister, Stella.When Richard meets a beautiful young woman named Margot, he falls in love with her and is soon drawn into a web of intrigue and deceit. Margot is the daughter of a wealthy American businessman who is involved in a complex financial scheme that could make him and his associates millionaires. Richard becomes embroiled in the scheme and, with Robert's help, tries to uncover the truth behind it.As the story unfolds, the characters are forced to confront their own desires and ambitions, and the consequences of their actions. The Inevitable Millionaires explores themes of love, greed, and the pursuit of wealth, and offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century London society.1919. A best-selling author of novels, short stories, magazine articles, translations, and plays, Oppenheim published over 150 books. He is considered one of the originators of the thriller genre, his novels also range from spy thrillers to romance, but all have an undertone of intrigue. He also wrote under the name of Anthony Partridge. The book begins: At precisely half-past eight o�������clock, on a grey February morning, two amiable-looking, middle-aged gentlemen left a medium-sized house of comfortable appearance, in the neighborhood of Hampstead, and commenced a walk undertaken them daily, in the interests of health, with the exception of Sundays, public holidays and a fortnight in August. There was sufficient resemblance between the two to proclaim them brothers-at first sight, indeed, they might have been taken for twins.
