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.
