The Predators

"This tour de force details the reckless life of Jerry Cooper, an orphan who survives the Depression, World War II, and the world of organized crime." —Cosmopolitan

The Predators combines in one novel the finest attributes of A Stone for Danny Fisher and The Carpetbaggers. It will take you on a wild odyssey through the gaudy and reckless life of Jerry Cooper—his struggles to survive in Depression-era New York, his years in Europe during the Second World War, his friends, his lovers, his life in organized crime, and his entrance into the world of high-powered international business.

"Grabs you hard from page one and never lets go! Over the past fifty years, Harold Robbins has shown two generations of readers and writers 'how it's done.' With The Predators, he's ready to show a third." —Lincoln Child, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

"He was certainly my big inspiration. Really successful writers give their readers a world they know intimately, and Harold certainly knows his world. From his luxurious yachts in the south of France to his lavish jet-set parties, Harold was king. He was larger than life and a real charmer. I will miss him and his ferocious talent. But his books will go on entertaining forever." —Jackie Collins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

"One hell of a story . . . Robbins sure has caused a lot of readers a lot of sleepless nights by his compelling tales. He's done it again!" —David Hagberg, New York Times–bestselling author

"Strongly evocative . . . Will not disappoint the author's many fans." —Publishers Weekly
