The Secret

Sequel to 'The Predators'.

Before his death, bestselling novelist Harold Robbins completed two books, 'The Predators' and a sequel, 'The Secret', a steamy novel chronicling the meteoric rise of a lingerie chain.

Jerry Cooper of 'The Predators' returns, moving from his spring-water success to launch his new empire of intimate women's apparel. Unfortunately, Jerry's operation isn't exactly legit and he desperately wants to keep his son, an honest lawyer with street smarts and a code of honour, out of the family business and away from its mob associates. All is well until Jerry needs a good lawyer, and his son insists on getting involved.

Combining the grit of his early work with the glamour of his later novels, Robbins once again provides readers with a pantheon of street-raised hustlers and anti-heroes who - wise to the way of America's mean streets - use their hard-won knowledge to claw their way up the ladder of success.
