Firm of Girdlestone
When Old Girdlestone built his African trading empire, he built it on iron will and unsentimental ruthlessness. Now his firm stands atop a precipice, and the only men who can save it are his weary father and his naive young son, bound by blood and doomed by their differing visions of honor. A distant cousin arrives with smooth promises and hidden knives, maneuvering through the family's desperation like a predator sensing weakness. As the firm's collapse accelerates, father and son must decide what they are willing to sacrifice: their fortune, their principles, or each other. Conan Doyle delivers a savage portrait of Victorian commerce where the real wilderness isn't the African continent these merchants exploit, but the brutal economics that devour the men who serve them.
