Great Impersonation

Great Impersonation

by E. Phillips Oppenheim

In E. Phillips Oppenheim's 'The Great Impersonation,' the lines between truth and deception blur as a German nobleman, Baron Leopold von Ragastein, takes on the identity of an English baronet, Sir Everard Dominey. Dominey, accused of murder and ostracized from society, has vanished. Von Ragastein, exiled for a duel, sees an opportunity to use his uncanny resemblance to the baronet to infiltrate English society and influence the nation's stance on the impending war. The tale unfolds with intrigue and suspense as the imposter weaves his way through high society, testing the loyalties and suspicions of those around him. As secrets unravel and trust is shattered, the question arises: can anyone truly discern the real from the imposter?
