Synopsis

Returning to his years in Hollywood with Howard Hughes and Universal Studios, his travels through Cannes, Rome, Paris, Rio, the Caribbean, and the Far East, living with and writing about the most ruthless power brokers of our time, Robbins vividly portrays our eternal obsession with greed, desire, and blind ambition.
The Predators take you on a wild odyssey through the gaudy and reckless life of Jerry Cooper: his struggles to survive in Depression-era New York; his years in Europe during the Second World War; his friends, his lovers, his life in organized crime; and his entrance into the world of high-powered international business.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

THE PREDATORS takes you on a wild odyssey through the gaudy and reckless life of Jerry Cooper: his struggle to survive in depression New York; his years in Europe during the war; his friends, wives and lovers; his life in organised crime and his entrance into the world of high-powered international business. Into the world of Plesscassier. The premier purveyor of vintage French spring water, its owner Jean Pierre Martine is a consummate rogue whose all-consuming greed is rivalled only by his unbridled sexual desires. But Plescassier is not yet the global colossus it may one day become. For all Jean Pierre's flair, the company lacks that single-minded individual who will propel it to its rightful place at the top of the international market. Jerry Cooper with his enormous appetites, financial genius and criminal past is such a person. As is Giselle, the former French courtesan, who is the driving force behind both Jerry and Jean Pierre, who inflames their ambition, their vanity, their destiny, their dream. And shares their bed.

Quatrième de couverture

The Predators takes you on a wild odyssey through the gaudy and reckless life of Jerry Cooper: his struggles to survive in depression-hit New York; his years in Europe during the war; his friends, wives and lovers; his life in organised crime - and his entrance into the world of high-powered international business…
Into the world of Plesscassier. The premier purveyor of vintage French spring water, Plesscassier is owned by Jean Pierre Martine, a consummate rogue and fearless risk-taker, whose all-consuming greed is rivaled only by his unbridled sexual desires. However, for all Jean Pierre's flair, Plesscassier is not yet the global colossus it may one day become. It will take somebody like Jerry Cooper with his enormous appetites, financial genius and criminal past to put Plesscassier at the top of the international market.
But can he make it? There are corporate hustlers who want his money. Mob guys who want his cojones. Women who want both. And enemies from the past who want him dead.
