"New York financier A. J. Strode is a greedy, unprincipled no-goodnik who ushers in each decade by taking a new wife and whose principal pleasure derives from breaking the spirit of anyone with whom he does business. But Strode finally meets his match when he tries to take over the House of Glass. Three stockholders prove to be as stif-necked and unprincipled as he is—and with a lot more to lose. Strode learns the hard way that blackmail can backfire, even when you are holding all the cards." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
