About this book

**The *"piranhas"* are not only the dangerous fish that lurk under the calm surface of the Amazon River**-- they are also the men and women whose greed, immorality and amorality feed on the fabric of society; not only those who run the illegal machinations of the Mafia and the worldwide drug trade that controls the shadow governments of many countries, but also ***those who live in the more "respectable" world of finance, banking, and Wall Street, and who fleece the innocent*** of their savings in order to gobble up big businesses and whole industries.***--WorldCat*** From sensational New York Times bestselling author Harold Robbins comes his toughest and most compelling novel in years--***a dazzling exploration of cold ambition and unrestrained lust.*** From the ruthless dealings of global drug lords to the corporate savagery of Wall Street's hustlers, the Piranhas are those hungry, vicious, men and women whose greed is all-consuming--and whose power is deadly.***--LibraryThing***
