Editorial Reviews

"In The Steel Barons, Alex Frishberg captures the flavor of the Wild East through the exploits of errant lawyer Jack Parker. During his whirlwind year in Kiev, Parker dabbles in organized crime, makes a fortune and meets the love of his life. The Steel Barons is funny, fast-paced and entertaining - a solid, believable novel."
