It was on Tuesday that old Ben Rosselli, president of First Mercantile American Bank and grandson of the bank's founder, made an announcement - startling and somber - which reverberated through every segment of the bank and far beyond. And the next day, Wednesday, the bank's "flagship" downtown branch discovered the presence of a thief - beginning a series of events which few could have foreseen, and ending in financial wreckage, human tragedy and death.' The genius of a master story - teller combines Money, People and Banking into a tense, totally absorbing story of the financial and personal crises behind the dignified bronze doors of a major bank. Interwoven with the dreams, passions, rivalries and guilty secrets of its employees are currency and credit card frauds, embezzlement, a prison gang-rape, Mafia torture, and the call girl sex that sweetens irregular business deals. The Moneychangers blends action, suspense, mystery and torrid love scenes in a powerfully entertaining novel that is as topical as tomorrow's headlines. - from Amzon
