When one of the partners of the first African-American stock exchange member is poisoned at a reception, John Putnam Thatcher must help the police discover who murdered him. This is a wonderful book in a wonderful series. The part where Bradford Withers, the hapless Sloan president, unintentionally insults the African-American community and must make a public apology is a lot of fun. ( )

The Sloan enters the Civil Rights fray in this entry into an entertaining series. The brokerage house of Schuyler and Schuyler announce a new partner with a seat on the stock exchange - black millionaire Edward Parry. One of my very favorites in this series. The sit-in is really great. Lots of fun.

Above all, Wall Street is power. The talk is of stocks and bonds, of contracts and bills of lading, of gold certificates and wheat futures, but it is talk that sends fleets steaming to distant oceans, that determines the fate of new African governments, that closes mining camps in the Chibougamou. In the world's great money market, power has forged massive canyons through which thousands of men and women daily hurry to work, hurry to lunch, hurry, hurry, hurry in the shadow of towers tall enough to defy the heavens. Depending upon your point of view, Wall Street is either awesomely impressive or appalling.
