Political pressure for unsecured loans of gold to the government stirs up trouble as tempers and prices rise.

My Review:

Peter Chandler is at a crossroads in his life. He has just found himself in charge of a bank because his father has died and his partner cannot help him . Mary Beth Roper is his partner's daughter. She has decided to try to help Peter even while the Civil War is taking place. It will not be easy. Someone has been signing signatures saying that they are  Peter and now they are facing huge problems. They have to find the person who is doing this. . Will they find out who this is or will the bank fail? Will they find a way to save their future and be able to carry on or will they get hurt? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review and these are my opinions.
