In a gripping tale of mistaken identity, a desperate businessman named Victor Jones faces financial ruin after his proposal for a lucrative contract is rejected. Seeking solace in a London hotel bar, he encounters his doppelganger, Mr. Rochester. After a night of heavy drinking, Victor awakens in a luxurious setting, mistakenly identified as the Earl of Rochester. This twist sets off a chain of events that will irrevocably alter his life. The novel, a departure from Stacpoole's usual South Pacific backdrop, has inspired adaptations in film, highlighting its enduring appeal.
