"description": "LibriVox recording of The Zeppelin's Passenger, by E. Phillips Oppenheim. Read by Tom Weiss.

The Zeppelin\u2019s Passenger is a tale of German espionage in England during World War I. Dreymarsh is a fictional \u201cbackwater\u201d area in England with no apparent military value. The story begins with Dreymarsh residents discovering an observation car from a German zeppelin along with a Homburg hat near Dreymarsh. The mystery is further complicated when an Englishman, Mr. Hamar Lessingham, presents himself at Mainsail Haul which is the residence of Sir Henry Cranston. Lessingham bears with him, hand-carried letters from Major Richard Halstead, and a British prisoner of war in Germany. He presents them to Halstead\u2019s sister, Phillipa and Helen, Halstead\u2019s fiancée who have had no word of Richard\u2019s fate and are deeply concerned. Phillipa, Sir Henry\u2019s wife, is smitten with Lessingham, after Sir Henry appears to her to be a coward since he will not become involved in the war effort. Lessingham appears to be the perfect gentlemen but he is not who he pretends to be. Eventually, Phillipa and Helen discover that the delivery of Halstead\u2019s letters come with a price. All becomes clear near the end to discover the secret of Lessingham, Sir Henry, and Mainsail Haul. (Summary by Tom Weiss)
