"In this fictional account of the Wall Street panic of 1907 ... In the midst of the alluring lifestyle of the high rollers, a newcomer from the South arrives. The strikingly beautiful Lucy Dupree seeks entrance into high society through her childhood friend, Allan Montague, who is now a successful lawyer working in the city. Despite Allan's attempts to protect her, the naive Lucy soon finds herself caught up in a jealous rivalry between two wealthy and unscrupulous power brokers. Their fight to destroy each other using high-stakes financial manipulations precipitates a major Wall Street collapse and puts Lucy in great peril."--Back cover
