The Piranhas

By Harold Robbins

Book Overview

Friction. Mafia turmoil. Hollywood snakes and Wall Street vipers. That's what Jed Stephens has got. And a body. ...Or, he would, if a certain species of vicious little fish couldn't strip a corpse bare in under a minute. Jed should have known better when his shady cousin insisted they take a trip down the Amazon, to see the sights and check out the local color... Jed can't say he's surprised when their scenic Amazonian vacation turns into an enormous coca leaf buy. And that's just the beginning.

Customer Reviews

Definitely NOT Written by Harold Robbins

It says right up front that this was a "compilation" of his notes put together by someone hired by his surviving wife and heirs. I have read several books by Harold Robbins and this was a travesty as far as being easy to follow or interesting. I had a difficult time finishing the book and kept loosing track of who was who. Don't waste your time on this one.

Piranhas

Another one from Harold Robbins which keeps you glued to the book untill its over.

Piranhas--A Dangerous Bite!

The Piranhas is a story that only ole' Harold could write. It is explosive with sex, violence, betrayal, and corrupt Wallstreet dealings. The book, as with most of Robbins' work deals with the issues of power and lust, how a man can achieve them, and how a man reacts when it has it all. The characterization is titanic, as well. Robbins illustrates his characters with all the temptations and emotions a man must face. The Piranhas proves again that Harold Robbins is the best American writer of modern time.

Harold Robbins at his best. Action, sex, deceit

One of the more exciting books of fiction from the godfather of pop fiction. harold robbins has written more than 20 novels, all of them best sellers.
