Vaux Wilson. Jacob Pratt, a middle-class Englishman, finds himself bankrupt because of his brother's failure to return some money Jacob has loaned him. AS a consequence, for several years he leads a miserably unhappy existence as a leather salesman. Suddenly the brother in America makes a fortune in oil, and Jacob finds himself one of the wealthy men of England and correspondingly famous. Having a keen sense of the responsibility his money brings and of his own past wretchedness, he decides to devote himself to helping the "under dog" and to outwitting the sharks who prey upon people of small means. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Edward Phillips Oppenheim (22 October 1866 â 3 February 1946) was an English novelist, in his lifetime a major and successful writer of genre fiction including thrillers.
