Harold Robbins

    21 mei 1916 – 14 oktober 1997

    Deze auteur wordt geprezen om zijn gedurfde verhalen die controversiële thema's aansnijden en de menselijke psyche met ongefilterde eerlijkheid onderzoeken. Zijn stijl, gekenmerkt door rauwe seksualiteit en meedogenloos realisme, dompelt lezers onder in werelden van intense emotionele pieken en dalen. Hij portretteert op overtuigende wijze de opkomst en ondergang van ambitieuze personages tegen de achtergrond van turbulente maatschappelijke veranderingen. Zijn wereldwijd bejubelde werken, geprezen om hun onverbloemde waarheid en vertelkracht, zijn fundamenten van de populaire cultuur geworden.

      Harold Robbins once again creates a story featuring his signature street-smart characters who use their hard-won knowledge to achieve greatness. The Secret, a steamy novel chronicling the meteoric rise of a lingerie chain, Jerry Copper, of The Predators, returns, moving from his spring-water success to launch his new empire of intimate women's apparel. Unfortunately, Jerry's operation, unlike companies such as Victoria's Secret, isn't exactly legit. He would desperately like to keep his son, an honest lawyer with street smarts and a code of honor, out of the family business and away from his mob associates. All is well until Jerry needs a good lawyer, and his son insists on getting involved.
