The young man with his deposits of nineteen and one-half millions-and more to come-troubled the president. With that much cash, Grinnell already was a potential disturber of finance. With much more he could be infinitely worse-to the public and to the great moneyed interests. -from The Golden Flood This financial mystery novels revolves around an enigmatic young man who deposits ever-increasing sums of gold bars into a large bank, much to the bank president's bemused chagrin. A century after its original publication in 1905, this remains must reading for those looking for insight into the driving forces of modern economies, and the nature of the people who influence it. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Lefevre's The Plunderers. American journalist EDWIN LEFEVRE (1871-1943) also authored the short fiction collected in Wall Street Stories (1901), the novel Sampson Rock of Wall Street (1906), and the based-on-fact Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (1923).

5.0 out of 5 stars
Page-turner. I could not put it down.,
This review is from: Golden Flood (Fraser Publishing Library) (Contrary Opinion Library) (Paperback)
A classic! Mysterious and intriging. It is a short read and fast page turner. Like many of Lefevre's books it is set at the turn of the 20th century and with a finance background. It complements the more popular Reminiscences book, but shows Lefevre in a different light - that of the mystery writer. It is almost sinister in its plot.

This review is from: Golden Flood (Fraser Publishing Library) (Contrary Opinion Library) (Paperback)
A mildly amusing story but nothing special. Not even in the same leagu as Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
