Résumé du livre
The story centers on Northwick, a man who commits multiple acts of what are considered white collar crimes, and the fallout he, and his daughters, endure. The story is more than just a study of one family and how far they will go to justify their own actions, but speaks to a larger problem of the time that is still relevant to this day. The rich have been able to commit criminal acts and face a different set of rules than the rest of society.
