The Financier
Theodore Dreiser
Experience the intense and powerful world of finance during the Civil War and after the Great Chicago Fire in this masterful novel of literary naturalism. The Financier, the first in a thrilling ''trilogy of desire,'' reveals the ruthless climb to success of broker Frank Cowperwood and his adoring mistress. Based on the life of financier C.T. Yerkes, Dreiser's cutting portrayal of the corrupt magnate highlights the idea that wealth is often gained through questionable methods.

@tnyfrontrow @selfstyledsiren @parabasis I loved The Financier. Read it before shooting season one of Billions. Keep meaning to read the rest of his books. – source
