A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ben Roselli, president of First Mercantile American Bank and grandson of the founder, makes the shocking announcement that he s dying. With no offspring to inherit the company, Roselli knows that executive VPs Roscoe Heyward and Alex Vandervoort are the obvious candidates to succeed him. Heyward, who has been with First Mercantile for two decades, will do whatever it takes to bring in new clients and win the coveted presidency. Vandervoort, a newcomer from the Federal Reserve with a left-wing girlfriend, advocates for a socially responsible plan of growth. And now the discovery of counterfeit cash and credit card fraud threatens the future of the bank itself. From the day-to-day business dealings to the inner sanctums of the money trading center and the boardroom, Hailey s novel is a riveting tale of ambition, greed, and the US banking system.

Biographie de l'auteur

Arthur Hailey, whom the New York Times has called one of the most successful novelists of all time , scored an overnight triumph with his first book, Flight into Danger, written with John Castle, and has gone on to write a further nine blockbusters, among them Airport, Hotel Wheels, The Evening News and Detective. They have been translated into 34 languages, with an estimated 150 million copies in print at the present time, and most of them have become equally successful films. From his beginnings as an office boy, Hailey served during the war in the RAF, rising through the ranks to become a pilot and flight lieutenant.
