Print on Demand. This book follows Edmond Fletcher, a young and idealistic stockbroker in the bustling financial hub of New York City, as he stumbles into an extraordinary adventure. After a seemingly ordinary day at the office, Fletcher finds himself whisked away in a luxurious car to a magnificent yacht, only to discover that he has been mistaken for a wealthy heir named Sigmond Van Mortimor. As Fletcher navigates this strange new world of opulence and privilege, he grapples with the complexities of his disguise and the moral implications of his deception. Amidst the grandeur of the Van Mortimor estate, he encounters Gloria, Sigmond's captivating sister, who confides in him, seeking his guidance and affection. Yet, as they grow closer, Fletcher knows he cannot prolong the charade forever. The book explores the nature of identity, the allure of wealth, and the limits of one's moral compass. Fletcher's journey forces him to confront his principles and question the societal norms that govern the pursuit of success. The author delves into the human desire for connection and the complexities of family bonds, offering a rich tapestry of characters and relationships. Ultimately, this book provokes contemplation on the choices we make and the consequences they carry, illuminating the profound significance of authenticity and the power of human connection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

The Phantom in the Rainbow recasts Wall Street ambition as a taut, character-driven drama of risk and conscience.
Set in early 20th‑century New York, this fiction follows a young broker marked by charm, poverty, and a dangerous hunger for influence. He blends polished manners with a gambler’s heart, chasing big accounts while wrestling with a code of fairness in a world where money and power tempt him toward moral tradeoffs. A loyal secretary, a stylish rival, and a determined young woman orbit his schemes, raising the stakes as loyalties fray and the line between dream and deception blurs. The book sits at the crossroads of ambition, secrets, and the perilous bets that shape a life.
What you’ll experience- A vivid portrait of a metropolis and a finance culture that hums with risk and spectacle
- A driven protagonist torn between idealism and personal gain, and the consequences of both
- Escalating tension as schemes collide with conscience in high-stakes markets
- Rich character dynamics, including relationships that test trust and loyalty

If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
