First Edition. "A thoughtful novel about present-day New York. Presenting a new and startling view of the bank scandals, racketeers, gangsters and politicians, written by an author who knows". A contemporary reviewer wrote: "This writer studies the turbulence of the boom period and the chaotic turmoil of the depression by following the fortunes of the three children of a wealthy New York merchant. They are two brothers and a sister, and when the merchant dies an aging lawyer is left to look after them; and it is largely through his eyes that the action is seen. It makes a queer picture. Most of the recent municipal scandals in New York are dragged in, thinly disguised. Racketeers, crooked politicians, unscrupulous financiers. Reading, you get an impression of a society grown utterly corrupt, utterly rotten, ready to disintegrate at the first serious shock."
