Kane and Abel..The Prodigal Daughter..Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less..A Quiver Full of Arrows (Omnibus Edition)

Összefoglaló

Kane and Abel:William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless Polish immigrant, are two men born on the same day on opposite sides of the world, their paths destined to cross in the ruthless struggle to build a fortune.
The Prodigal Daughter:A story of love and politics that continues the saga of "Kane and Abel". The titanic battle between two men obsessed with destroying each other follows on into the next generation. Florentyna Rosnovski, Abel's daughter, inherits all her father's drive, but none of his wealth.
Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less: One million dollars - that's what Harvey Metcalfe, lifelong king of shady deals, has pulled off with empty promises of an oil bonanza and instant riches. Overnight, four men - the heir to an earldom, a Harley Street doctor, a Bond Street art dealer and an Oxford don - find themselves penniless. A Quiver Full of Arrows :Two friends fall under the spell of a New York beauty - with quite unexpected results. An offhand remark is taken seriously by a Chinese sculptor, and a British diplomat becomes the owner of a priceless work of art. An insurance claims advisor has a most surprising encounter on the train home to Sevenoaks. The openings to three of this marvellous collection of stories that ends with a hauntingly-written, atmospheric account of two undergraduates at Oxford in the thirties, a tale of bitter rivalry that ends in a memorable love story.
