Summary: "Friday, the Thirteenth: A Novel" by Thomas William Lawson is a financial thriller written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jim Randolph, a partner at a prestigious Wall Street banking firm, and his college friend Bob Brownley, who is a passionate and impulsive stock trader. As the tale unfolds against the backdrop of a stock market panic on Friday the 13th, the narrative delves into themes of friendship, ambition, and the darker side of financial speculation, particularly highlighting Bob's reckless nature and its implications for both his career and personal relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jim, who receives a frantic phone call from his partner Fred Brownley about Bob's erratic behavior on the trading floor. The tension builds as Bob's aggressive trading on that fateful day threatens to trigger a financial disaster. As Jim reflects on their past and the dynamics of their friendship, he becomes increasingly concerned about Bob's mindset, which is rife with gambling impulses that have put them both at risk. The stakes escalate when a mysterious young woman named Beulah Sands enters the picture, presenting both a personal and financial dilemma for Bob, as he becomes emotionally entangled with her while grappling with the consequences of his actions in the volatile world of stock trading. The opening sets the stage for a complex interplay of personal and financial crises that will unfold throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
