Stone for Danny Fisher
A Stone for Danny Fisher is the story of a young man who did not start at the bottom. Born into a family of modest means and respectability, Danny Fisher was gradually driven downward into the world of crime, racketeering and poverty.

Über den Autor
Born in 1916 in New York City, Harold Robbins was a millionaire by the time he was twenty. He lost his fortune by speculating on the price of sugar before the outbreak of WW2. Later, his fabulously successful career as a novelist, with many of his books turned into films, would once again make him incredibly wealthy. For many years Robbins enjoyed the high life among the rich and famous, owning a huge yacht and houses on the French Riviera and in Beverley Hills. His novels often mirrored his own experiences and were peopled by characters he had met. He died at the age of eighty-one in Palm Springs, survived by his wife, Jann, and his two daughters, Caryn and Adreana. Robert Hale also published his previous novel, Sin City.
