Synopsis
Returning to his years in Hollywood with Howard Hughes and Universal Studios, his travels through Cannes, Rome, Paris, Rio, the Caribbean, and the Far East, living with and writing about the most ruthless power brokers of our time, Robbins vividly portrays our eternal obsession with greed, desire, and blind ambition.
The Predators take you on a wild odyssey through the gaudy and reckless life of Jerry Cooper: his struggles to survive in Depression-era New York; his years in Europe during the Second World War; his friends, his lovers, his life in organized crime; and his entrance into the world of high-powered international business.
