The Profiteers is a novel written by E. Phillips Oppenheim, first published in 1919. The story revolves around a group of wealthy and powerful individuals who manipulate the stock market for their own gain. The main character, Richard Harden, is a successful businessman who becomes embroiled in the shady dealings of the profiteers. As he delves deeper into their world, he discovers corruption, deceit, and betrayal at every turn. Along the way, he falls in love with the beautiful and mysterious Sylvia Thorne, who may hold the key to uncovering the truth behind the profiteers' schemes. The novel is a thrilling tale of greed, power, and the darker side of capitalism. Oppenheim's writing is engaging and suspenseful, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.Wingate, notwithstanding his iron nerve, awoke with a start, in the grey of the following morning, to find his heart pounding against his ribs and a chill sense of horror stealing into his brain. Nothing had happened or was happening except that one cry, --the low, awful cry of a man in agony. He sat up, switched on the electric light by his side and gazed at the round table, his fingers clenched around the butt of his pistol. Dredlinton, from whom had come the sound, had fallen with his head and shoulders upon the table. His face was invisible, only there crept from his hidden lips a faint repetition of the cry, --the hideous sob, it might have been, as of a spirit descending into hell.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
