Published in 1899, just after his unexpected death, The Market-Place became one of Frederic's most successful novels. It offers psychological insight into its hero the late-Victorian equivalent of Gordon Gekko an amoral London businessman named Joel Thorpe, caring for only two things in the world: money and power. He prefers to hoard the former and spend the latter.
