George C. Sims (Paul Cain) 1932
Sims was an alcoholic and a compulsive liar. An ironist given to elaborate fronts that revealed as much as they concealed. A man whose tenuous grasp on his own identity allowed him to sink, for a brief time, into the role as Paul Cain, and to keep playing as long as he could.
