Name: The House of Mammon
Author: Fred M. White

The story follows the fortunes of the wealthy and powerful family of the Earl of Mammon, who have been living in luxury for generations. But when the Earl dies, his son, Lord Robert, is left with a mountain of debt and a crumbling estate. He must find a way to save the family from ruin, and he turns to his cousin, the beautiful and ambitious Lady Mary, for help. Lady Mary is determined to restore the family's fortunes, and she sets out to make a fortune of her own. She embarks on a series of daring business ventures, and soon she is one of the wealthiest women in England. But her success comes at a price, as she must contend with enemies who are determined to bring her down. The House of Mammon is a thrilling tale of ambition, power, and greed, and a vivid portrait of the upper classes of Edwardian England.
