But few New Orleans immigrants find just as much success as Oliver does between the city's lively streets. By the time he's 95, Oliver has amassed a massive bundle of money built from brothels and speakeasies. But as his riches grows, so does his family's desire to control it. After some strokes, Oliver must choose an inheritor, even though his two entitled daughters and ambitious followed son don't always appear worthy of his legacy. The Condor Goes by is a simmering dynastic saga of three generations colliding in their battle to control an empire.
