Description

Montague, a member of the elite class of New York witnesses insider trading and manipulation of the stock market by a high financier Dan Waterman who is motivated by revenge. A thrilling story of white collar crime with some resemblance of Waterman's character to J.P. Morgan.

Author

Upton Sinclair (1878–1968) wrote The Jungle and a long shelf of muckraking novels in which industry is the villain. The Chicago stockyards novel was meant to convert readers to socialism; it converted them to food reform instead — and still stands as American protest fiction at documentary heat. Sinclair kept going: oil, coal, journalism, politics, a career of books used as weapons.
