Summary: "John Marsh's Millions" by Charles Klein and Arthur Hornblow is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the dynamics of wealth, deceit, and familial relationships in New York society, particularly focusing on the titular character John Marsh and his brother Jimmy after John's unexpected death. The narrative expresses the tensions created by social status and financial aspirations, introducing a cast of characters whose lives are profoundly impacted by inheritance and secrets.
