My name is Gus Bailey…It should be pointed out that it is a normal feature of my life that folks whisper things in my ear, very private things, about themselves or others. I've always grasped the art work of tuning in.
The last 2 yrs have been monstrously annoying for high-society journalist Gus Bailey. His propensity for gossip has finally gotten him into trouble—$11 million well worth. His problems start when he falls hook, line, and sinker for a fake storyline from an unreliable source and repeats it on a radio program. Due to his flip comments, Gus becomes embroiled in a nasty slander suit brought by Kyle Cramden, the powerful congressman he accuses of being involved in the secret disappearance of a girl, and he fears it could suggest the finish of him.
The stress of the lawsuit helps it be difficult for Gus to concentrate on the book he has been contracted to write, which is dependant on the suspicious loss of life of billionaire Konstantin Zacharias. It is a story that has dominated the get together conversations of Manhattan's chattering classes for more than 2 yrs. The convicted murderer is behind pubs, but Gus is not persuaded that justice was dished up. There are too many unanswered questions, such as why a paranoid man who was usually associated with bodyguards was without security the very evening he perished in a tragic fire.
Konstantin's hot-tempered widow, Perla, is obsessed with climbing the communal ladder and, as a result, she'll do anything to reduce this potentially harmful storyline. Gus is persuaded she is the only thing standing between him and the reality.
Dominick Dunne revives the globe he first created in his mega-bestselling book People Like Us, and he brings viewers up to date on favorite characters such as Ruby and Elias Renthal, Lil Altemus, and, of course, the much loved Gus Bailey. Once more, he invites us to take up a seat at the most important tables at Swifty's, get past the doormen at esteemed communal clubs just like the Butterfield, and business into the innermost chambers of top of the East Side's most sumptuous mansions.
Too Much Money is a satisfying, mischievous, and compulsively readable story by the most amazing society chronicler of the time—the man who realized all the secrets and wasn't worried to share them.
