About this ebook
A LEGENDARY MASTERPIECE
A STORY OF MONEY AND POWER,
SEX AND DEATH
Jonas Cord coveted his father's fame, fortune, even his young, beautiful wife. When his father died, Jonas swore to possess them all. But Rina Marlow was the celebrated screen goddess no man could master. Her sizzling sensuality might inflame and enthrall millions, but her personal boudoir was no Hollywood fantasy. She consumed her lovers on the fiery rack of her burning desires.
Rina and Jonas took Hollywood, the airplane industry, America itself by storm. From New York to LA they brawled, lusted, and carved out an empire, blazoned in banner headlines and their enemies' blood—only to learn that money and power, revenge and renown were not enough. Too much would never be enough—not for Jonas Cord and the relentless Rina Marlowe. The higher they soared, the more their ambition demanded . . . the darker and deadlier their fiery passions grew.

Reviews for The Carpetbaggers
108 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I have decided that life is too short to continue reading this book. There is plenty of action, but it is dated and poorly edited. An example:'Her eyes stared coldly up at me. "Look, Jonas," she said coldly,...'It is also full of gratuitous violence (my main objection) and frankly silly sexual fantasies. And it is predictable. Robbins builds the scene and you just think: Uh-oh, I know what's coming now. Do I really have to put myself through reading this?Nope, I don't. One for the charity shop.
