Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the unsettling mystery of a respected Long Island family. The patriarch, Hobart Drake, a successful stockbroker, has been plagued by a series of bizarre episodes, culminating in a public outburst where he believes himself to be Julius Caesar.
