description: Part One Of Two Parts Sherman McCoy is on the way to having it made. A red-hot young investment banker with a 14-room apartment in Manhattan, he splits in panic from a freak accident in the Bronx. But circumstances conspire against him, not to mention police, press, politicians and prosecutors. "Wolfe's New York City is boiling with racial and ethnic hostilities, also burning with an itch to get it NOW. His gallery ranges from Wall Street, where people in their thirties feel like small fry if they're not yet making a million per, to the real streets, where the aim is lower but the itch is just as virulent."
