Charlie Croker appears to be a very wealthy entrepreneur with everything a man can possibly desire: huge houses, private jets, second trophy wife...but he has huge debts and is about to lose everything, until a friend of the Mayor comes to him with a strange proposal to free him of his debt on a certain condition. I highly recommend reading this voluminous book about Atlanta and its rich people and politics. It's gripping.
