The bronze doors of First Mercantile American Bank are open. The day begins. So do the high-stake risks, the public scandals, and the private affairs. Here is the inside world of secret million-dollar deals, made, manipulated, and sweetened with sex by the men and women who play to win -each luxuriously unaware of the danger that threatens to strip them of everything they live and die for.

I don't view this book with an ideological mind, as other reviewer pointed. The important point is that you will have much fun with the descriptions of what can happen to the guys in the money world. What I can guarantee you is that you'll finish reading this book in 1, 2 or 3 days ! Very amusing. Enjoy it.

This book is one of Arthur Hailey's best books and well worth reading, both for insights into another industry (which Hailey always does well) and for well-constructed characters.

What did I know about banks before? A little! But since I read this book, I knew more about banks and the dillemas they face amidst the ordinary revolution of this naive world. It offers a view of a collapsing realm of economy, that which holds the blood line of society. Good!
