The last two years have been monstrously unpleasant for high-society journalist Gus Bailey. When he falls for a fake story and implicates a powerful congressman in some rather nasty business on a radio program, Gus becomes embroiled in a slander suit. The stress makes it difficult for him to focus on his next novel, which is based on the suspicious death of billionaire Konstantin Zacharias. The convicted murderer is behind bars, but Gus is not convinced that justice was served. There are too many unanswered questions, and Konstantinrs"s hot-tempered widow will do anything to conceal the truth. Featuring favorite characters and the affluent world Dunne first introduced inPeople Like Us, Too Much Moneyis a mischievous, compulsively readable tale by the most brilliant society chronicler of our time-the man who knew all the secrets and wasnrs"t afraid to share them.
