- THE ROYLE BLUE BLOODS by J. Griffith Mitchell
In the 1800s, his wealth acquired through “just dumb luck,” Jacob Royle builds an empire based on shrewdness, common sense, and a compassion for his fellow man, and in the process he becomes one of the wealthy Long Island bluebloods.
Through four generations of greed, murder, blackmail, suicide, incest, and revenge, sibling battles sibling and cousins connive, yet the family wealth continues to accrue—a close parallel to the course of many true royal empires. Jacob’s successors frequently repeat, “Long live the king,” as they finish their climb to the top chair in the Royle Empire, the rightful heir not always in that top spot.
The question is—Who does finally come out on top?
