Description
Fifteen years ago John Stevenson had been paid the meagre wages of a common railway navvy. Now his driving energies and ambitions had made him one of the richest men in the world.
As head of a gigantic railway empire, John planned great things for his two sons, Casper and Boy: wealth, power and social prestige would all be theirs. But as Stevenson would soon discover it took more than money to gain entry to the exclusive inner world of Victorian respectability.
