description: THE SILVER BEARS involves a Swiss bank controlled by the Mafia, an ancient silver mine rediscovered in Iran, bullion smugglers on the Persian Gulf and an American speculator living in England. With his great storytelling gift and singular experience in world money markets, Paul Erdman takes us through the twists and turns of a complex plot to make a huge fortune in silver. As powerful men manipulate the market, one is reminded of 1979-80 when silver went from $5.00 to $50.00 an ounce.
