A day that would be remembered in American history. A day that would rewrite the future of the country—and possibly, the world. It was the day the Blackwells, the financial titans, faced a reckoning. The day the richest man in the world fell.
Two occurrences. Two incidents. That was all it took to send the empire of Alexander Blackwell teetering toward the edge of collapse.

And now, those involved stood before the man they served, a man who expected perfection, precision, and absolute control. But control had been lost today.
