“No more successful mystery story was ever written than ‘The Great Impersonation.’ It is indeed a triumph of construction and treatment that holds the attention of the reader from first to last.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
“‘The Great Impersonation’ is a thoroughly good story with an ingenious plot, and a series of exciting episodes that recall A. Conan Doyle of the days when he was writing about Sherlock Holmes.”—The New York Tribune.
“For ingenuity of plot and cleverness of treatment, it is a masterpiece among contemporary mystery stories.”—The Boston Herald.
“Mr. Oppenheim, well established master of mystery, has in ‘The Great Impersonation’ outdone himself in his exploitation of the hitherto unsuspected.”—The New York World.
“‘The Great Impersonation’ will be, and will deserve to be, one of the best sellers of the year.”—The Boston Post.

About
This is a story about Jacob Pratt who “stood bond” for his brother and then lost all his money and was unable to pay his debts. Two years later his brother is finally able to restore him to an enviable financial position. Jacob rewards those who stood beside him during his time of trials and attempts to get even with those who had cast him aside. He finds that revenge is not always sweet. Even though Jacob has plenty of money, he is unable to win the girl of his dreams. - Summary by Richard Kilmer
