From the winner of the Oscar for the Best Screenplay for The
Imitation Game in 2015 comes a superb historical legal thriller
based on the famous 'War of the Currents' fought between Thomas
Edison and George Westinghouse. *Soon to be a major film starring
Eddie Redmayne* The man who controls electricity will control the
very sun in the sky... It is 1888 and, with gas lamps still
flickering in the streets of New York, a young lawyer takes a case
that seems impossible to win. Paul Cravath's client is George
Westinghuose, who is being sued by his wily rival, Thomas Edison,
for $1 billion as they compete to power the city by electricity. In
his obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul takes ever greater risks to
win at all costs. But soon he will find that everyone in his path
is playing their own game. 'A web of deception and industrial
espionage' Sunday Times 'This is John Grisham meets Edith Wharton,
as all the great and good of 19th-century New York slug it out in
court' The Times 'Mesmerizing, clever, and absolutely crackling...a
beautifully researched, endlessly entertaining novel that will
leave you buzzing' Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl
