Financier, The (Clearance)

This powerful novel explores the dynamics of the financial world during the Civil War and after the stock market panic caused by the Chicago fire. Frank Cowperwood, a ruthlessly dominating broker and wheeler-dealer, climbs the proverbial ladder, not without more than a few personal and professional missteps along the way - and always with his loving mistress championing his every move. 

Narrated by Flo Gibson.  15 CDs.
