The Titan
About this book
A businessman leaves prison and heads to Chicago to regain his fortune—but his past follows close behind him—in this absorbing historical epic.
Newly released from prison, Frank Cowperwood immediately dives back into the stock market after the Panic of 1873, aiming to recover his lost fortune and become a millionaire once more. This time, he has a new plan and sets out for Chicago with his mistress, Aileen.
Using his brutal business sense to snuff out his opponents, Frank has his eyes on the city's street-railway system as his ticket back to the top. But as Frank knows, the past cannot remain buried forever, and it's only a matter of time before his previous misdeeds come back to find him in his new home, threatening his stability—and more importantly, his money.
