E. Phillips Oppenheim
Read by Richard Kilmer (1942 - 2022)
This is a story about Jacob Pratt who “stood bond” for his brother and then lost all his money and was unable to pay his debts. Two years later his brother is finally able to restore him to an enviable financial position. Jacob rewards those who stood beside him during his time of trials and attempts to get even with those who had cast him aside. He finds that revenge is not always sweet.

Reviews
Highly Enjoyable
jenniebrown
Engaging story with a likable protagonist who, rather trusting, gets himself into some precarious situations. He is up to any task though and quite remarkably so. The challenges faced are often humorous allowing for an enjoyable listen. As usual, Mr. Kilmer's narration is divine.
FUN AND GAMES
AVID READER
A very different sort of book than I am used to from Oppenheim. It was a great romp, and I recommend it to all who enjoy light adventurous romance. And, a hearty thanks to Richard for his easy listening narration.
interesting read and nice narration
Cindy Barnett
Loved the humor, the mystery, the end romance and the growth of main character. Enjoyably read.
Rags to riches
Great unexpected moments
Interesting twists and turns and at the end of it not a bad way to waste A few hours on the factitious tale
I agree

Wonderful story, with cliff-hanging dangers, great characters and fasf-paced movement. A most excellent reader makes it all believable. Enjoy!
