Synopsis

The number one bestselling author of the blockbuster thrillers Airport and Hotel takes on the world of high finance.

Ben Roselli, president of First Mercantile American Bank and grandson of the founder, makes the shocking announcement that he's dying. With no offspring to inherit the company, Roselli knows that executive VPs Roscoe Heyward and Alex Vandervoort are the obvious candidates to succeed him. Heyward, who has been with First Mercantile for two decades, will do whatever it takes to bring in new clients and win the coveted presidency. Vandervoort, a newcomer from the Federal Reserve with a left-wing girlfriend, advocates for a socially responsible plan of growth. And now the discovery of counterfeit cash and credit card fraud threatens the future of the bank itself.

From the day-to-day business dealings to the inner sanctums of the money trading center and the boardroom, Hailey's novel is a riveting tale of ambition, greed, and the US banking system.

About Arthur Hailey

Arthur Hailey (1920-2004), the author of eleven novels, many of which became number one New York Times bestsellers, was born in Luton, England. He served as a pilot and flight lieutenant in the British Royal Air Force during World War II and immigrated to Canada in 1947. While working for a transportation trade magazine, he scored his first writing success with a television drama, and began to write screenplays full-time for various networks during the golden age of live television. His novel-writing career took off in 1959 with the publication of his first novel, The Final Diagnosis, and picked up velocity with Hotel and then Airport, which spent thirty weeks in the number-one spot on the New York Times bestseller list and became a blockbuster film. Hailey's novels, many of which have been made into films, television series, and miniseries, have been translated into forty languages. They are notable for their suspenseful storylines and authentic depictions of various industries and commercial settings, which Hailey aggressively and meticulously researched.

Goodreads review by Scycer on August 11, 2012

How does this man do it. Take an industry learn it and then churn out a story. His pace is not adrenaline pumping nor is there any dead zones. It just flows so smoothly that once you start at page one it just turns until you find yourself staring at the last page. Money Changers is about the banking......more

This was my 6th book by Hailey and thankfully this was one of the better ones along with Airport. Hailey is so repetitive and formulaic. I think he used "Find and Replace" option to write all his novels after the first one. Replace character names, replace technical terms of industry, replace settin......more

Bija pietiekami interesanti par banku 70.gados, kredītkaršu un naudas viltošanu, bankas darījumiem. Bet nu tipiski Heilijam viens no galvenajiem varoņiem ir morāles balsts, bet otram paslīd kāja nelikumību virzienā un iznākums prognozējams.......more

Артър Хейли и светът на големите пари: [URL not allowed]-review/b... Дори не знам колко пъти съм препрочитал “Банкери” някога, едва ли ще са по-малко от пет-шест. Зачетох се с лекота и сякаш се върнах назад във времето – банката пак се люшкаше покрай смъртта на своя президент, двамата канд......more

Goodreads review by Harshita on June 01, 2015

Whenever I read a novel by Arthur Hailey, I’m amazed at the amount of research that has gone into writing it. He has written books on power plants, airports, hotels and even doctors - every book seems to be written from an insider’s point of view. This book is no different. This book is about an Ame......more
