Book Review of The Billion Dollar Sure Thing

The Billion Dollar Sure Thing
reviewed on + 67 more book reviews


The story takes place during the Cold War with Russia vs. the US along with the rest of international speculators. So. Russia is trying to corner the gold market and in so doing will dominat the dollar and ruble. You know the drill. There is a secret American plan for a monetary change that leaks out to Swiss bankers, and oh, yes, there is a tall, beuutiful French girl, the Mafia is in here, and the whole gang. It's Paul Erdman in an early novel. Hasn't quite reached the peak he did in the "Crash of '79."
