How will he do it? In obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul crosses paths with Nikola Tesla, an eccentric, brilliant inventor who may hold the key to defeating Edison, and with Agnes Huntington, a beautiful opera singer who proves to be a flawless performer on stage and off. Yet this unknown lawyer shares with his famous adversary a compulsion to win at all costs. Edison is a wily, dangerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal - private spies, newspapers in his pocket and the backing of J.P. 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? The case affords Paul entry to the heady world of high society - the glittering parties in Gramercy Park mansions, and the more insidious dealings done behind closed doors. School, takes a case that seems impossible to win. A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history - and a vast fortune. Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy.
