Two men battle to become the CEO of one of America's largest banks in this classic thriller by a #1 New York Times –bestselling author: "A suspenseful story replete with the kind of offbeat research that only Hailey seems to be able to exhume. Remember the fascinating minutiae in Hotel and Airport . He does even better for banking!" ( San Francisco Chronicle ).

"Arthur Hailey at his best." — Publishers Weekly

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 U.S. banking system.

"Enough about bankers at work to enlighten and entertain, and enough about bankers at play to titillate. . . . Really hard to put down!" — BusinessWeek
