He strangles Douglas, throws him in the canal, and assumes his identity. Douglas had booked passage to America for the next day, so after a pleasant sea voyage Phillip arrives at the Waldorf Hotel in New York as Douglas Romilly. An hour after checking in he disappears again, and assumes yet another identity, one that his cousin had set up for himself.

A psychological sketch of a luckless man driven to kill. I found it a bit strange that so many women were drawn to an admitted murderer, but the story was interesting and readers all did a good job.

Philip is miserable. His cause? Poverty and a terrible cousin who has secretly begun dating his fiance. Philip takes revenge and then takes his cousin's place in America, where he begins life anew under a pseudonym that his cousin had planned to use. He finds fame, love, and friends, but is haunted by his past, all the more so when a pushy detective begins asking questions.
Lots of twists, very well done book.
Mixed readers, all of them good, but some of the chapters have some background noises and are hard to hear, but doesn't detract from the story.
