Who really is Sir Everard Dominey? That's him, or is his double and childhood friend, the German Baron von Ragastein. Judging by the behavior, it is the second who plays the first, having lost all the flaws that made him a social butterfly, to the point of having to flee to Africa chased by a murder charge and that, more importantly, to have reduced to madness his deeply in love wife. To make the matter more complicated, there are the first signs of the events that led to the First World War, and the fact that the poor former colonial is urged by everyone to do something: from those who are convinced that he is really Dominey as those who are convinced that he is von Ragastein.
Who he really is, is what you find reading all the way to the end this book, which, despite some flaws, is still very enjoyable.
