The Profiteers is a novel written by E. Phillips Oppenheim that tells the story of a group of wealthy and powerful men who use their influence and connections to manipulate the stock market and make huge profits. The main character, Richard Harden, is a successful businessman who becomes involved with the group and finds himself caught up in their schemes. As he becomes more deeply involved, he begins to question the morality of their actions and struggles to maintain his own integrity. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman who is also caught up in the world of high finance and must navigate the complex relationships and power struggles that define their world. The novel is a gripping tale of greed, corruption, and the struggle to maintain one's values in a world that values money above all else.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.
