The Substitute Millionaire is a novel written by Hulbert Footner and published in 1919. The book tells the story of a young man named Jack Dysart, who is hired to impersonate a wealthy millionaire named John Merrill. Dysart is hired by Merrill's business partner, who is afraid that Merrill's estranged wife will try to take control of the company if she finds out that Merrill has died. Dysart is given a crash course in Merrill's life and personality, and he successfully fools everyone, including Merrill's wife and daughter. However, Dysart soon finds himself falling in love with Merrill's daughter and begins to question his own motives for taking on the impersonation. The novel explores themes of identity, love, and the corrupting influence of money.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
