The #1 bestselling author of the blockbuster thrillers Airport and Hotel takes on the world of high finance: “Cliched, lurid and utterly absorbing” (Philip Hensher, The Guardian).

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 US banking system.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"“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

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

“Arthur Hailey at his best.” —Publishers Weekly

About the Author

Arthur Hailey (1920–2004), the author of eleven novels, many of which became #1 New York Times bestsellers, was born in Luton, England. He served as a pilot and flight lieutenant in the British Royal Air Force during World War II and immigrated to Canada in 1947. While working for a transportation trade magazine, he scored his first writing success with a television drama, and began to write screenplays full-time for various networks during the golden age of live television. His novel-writing career took off in 1959 with the publication of his first novel, The Final Diagnosis, and picked up velocity with Hotel and then Airport, which spent thirty weeks in the number-one spot on the New York Times bestseller list and became a blockbuster film. Hailey’s novels, many of which have been made into films, television series, and miniseries, have been translated into forty languages. They are notable for their suspenseful storylines and authentic depictions of various industries and commercial settings, which Hailey aggressively and meticulously researched.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dated, but still a good read

This is the second Alex Hailey novel I’ve read, and would definitely recommend it. Hailey exhaustively researched his books and the facts and even smallest of details are spot on. The book is dated, as it was published in 1975, but it gives insight into the banking system not usually seen by the public. And the ending is definitely heart pounding. I’m looking forward to my next Alex Hailey novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very sexist by today's standards
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020

I chose this book by Arthur Hailey because (1) I know the man can write, and (2) he uses the English language correctly. Also, I'm a traditionalist who very much dislikes novels written in the present tense.

Although the intricacies of banking don't really interest me, the story was engaging enough that I read the book to the end. I was outraged by the secondary male character's dismissal of one of the female characters as a "whore." If she was a whore, what did that make HIM, this supposedly upright, churchgoing male who was engaged in an adulterous affair because his wife didn't want to fulfill her marital duties? The protagonist, whom we are supposed to like, is also an adulterous male whose wife is mentally ill and in an institution. Why is it considered all right for men to do whatever they want, but unmarried women who engage in sex are considered "whores" and regarded with contempt?

In a word, patriarchy. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this novel and do not plan to buy any others by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-written Arthur Hailey book....
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020

Since this was written many years ago (over 20 years), some of the situations are not possible today, but the novel is well-written, and keeps you there until the end.
I'm sure I read it when it was new, but I liked it again....there are a number of Mr. Hailey's philosophies scattered throughout the novel, and it is pretty easy to see where he is grounded regarding the entire bank system in the country as well as the local bank's responsibilites to the local community. I liked it even though it was somewhat dated.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Banking Industry Unravels
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2017
Verified Purchase
As a former Bank Employee, I know from first hand some of the problems that can happen. We all know some of the problems that happened in Banking in 2007 & 2008; This is fiction but it so real after what happened in our country with Banks. It is very interesting as this Bank that is written about has problems, which then leads to problems with other Banks & the people in the book have tremendous problems. There is a lot of suspense in the book & you want to keep reading to see what will happen the people in the book. Sometimes it only take 1 person in a situation who persuades others to follow & pretty soon it can affect the whole Banking Industry. I know this was written quite a few years ago but we had some the problems in our country in 2007 & 2008 so it makes it seem so real as you are reading today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bankers beware
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022
Verified Purchase
This book was written in 1975 and a few exceptions involving the value of todays dollar and technology, it is timeless. I have read several other books by this author and it is right up there with the other classics, Hotel and Airport.
The story unfolds when the president of the bank announces to his staff that he is dying and a replacement needs to be found. There are 2 candidates from within the organization who have different agendas that are the main story that develops early on and continues with many sub plots.
Some parts are predictable but the brillant writing keeps you turning the pages long into the night to the very end. Highly recommended!

This is the third time I am reading this book and every time I liked it more and more. Mr. Arthur Hailey is an extra ordinary writer of our times. What I like about this title is effective portrayal of American banking system and corruption in high places. The characterisation of Alex, Juanita, Nolan are specially endearing. I recommend the book to all the book lovers, as Arthur Hailey is one of the most iconic writer of our times
