A thrilling novel
based on actual events, about the nature of genius, the cost of ambition, and
the battle to electrify America. New York, 1888. Gas lamps still flicker in the
city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy. The person who
controls the means to turn night into day will make history—and a vast fortune.
A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law School,
takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul’s client, George Westinghouse,
has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the
light bulb and holds the right to power the country?
