The Mogul

by Don Genovese

Fortunes built on floors nobody was supposed to inspect. A story about the men who write the rules and the ones who learn, too late, that the rules were never really written down.

Synopsis

Every empire has a floor nobody's allowed to inspect.

The Mogul follows the rise of a man who built exactly that kind of empire, and the people around him who spent years mistaking his certainty for competence. A story about leverage, appetite, and the particular kind of silence that surrounds people with enough money to buy it.

Developed in parallel as both a novel and a screenplay, The Mogul is a character study of ambition without a ceiling, and what it costs the people standing underneath one.
