The Predators Series

Harold Robbins once again creates a story featuring his signature street-smart characters who use their hard-won knowledge to achieve greatness. The Secret, a steamy novel chronicling the meteoric rise of a lingerie chain, Jerry Copper, of The Predators, returns, moving from his spring-water success to launch his new empire of intimate women's apparel. Unfortunately, Jerry's operation, unlike companies such as Victoria's Secret, isn't exactly legit. He would desperately like to keep his son, an honest lawyer with street smarts and a code of honor, out of the family business and away from his mob associates. All is well until Jerry needs a good lawyer, and his son insists on getting involved.

The last novel of Harold Robbins, finished not long before his death in 1997, traces the gaudy, reckless life of Jerry Cooper, his life in organized crime and his entrance into the world of high-powered international business. By the author of "The Carpetbaggers" and "The Betsy".
