The Moneychangers - Arthur Hailey

About The Novel

The bronze doors of First Mercantile American Bank are open. The day begins. So do the high-stake risks, the public scandals, and the private affairs.

It revolves around two characters, Alex Vandervoort and Roscoe Heyward who have difference of opinion in almost every matter.
