When identities can be switched, how do you know whose motives to trust?
The Great Impersonation by E. Phillips Oppenheim puts switched identities and hidden motives at the heart of a mystery thriller. First published in 1920, the book invites you to question the link between who a person appears to be and what they intend.
The title places impersonation at the centre of the mystery. The subtitle, A Thriller of Switched Identities and Hidden Motives, gives you its essential tension: identity can mislead, and intentions remain concealed. If that combination draws you in, this is a book to open without knowing more.
