This Post WW1 novel is quite a bit different than others of his that I've read. It concerns a group of businessmen who have decided to get richer by driving up the price of wheat, and another businessman who is determined to stop their plan, by any means necessary.
The business parts are very dry, and there is also a romantic sub-plot, where the head of the first group and the opposing businessman are fighting for the same woman (who also has to be married).
Despite all that, kind of a dull book, but features some very interesting supporting characters, including a woman taxi-driver
