The Lockwood Concern Author:O'Hara, John The Lockwood Concern traces the rise to power of a family whose origins were stained with murder and insanity. It is the story of four generations of Lockwoods: the arrogant men, victimized wives, flamboyant mistresses, sons, daughters, grandchildren. It is the turbulent history of an American dynasty...and John O'Hara's greatest achievement.
