St. John Larrimer is a Wall Street investment banker, " the Capitalist", in the fifth novel of Steiner's Louis Morgon series.

And with the collapse of the markets and the demise of some of the biggest investment banks, Larrimer's scam is revealed, and he has to skedaddle to his luxurious Caribbean retreat. Peter Steiner is the author of "Le Crime", "The Terrorist", "L'Assassin", and "The Resistance", and is perhaps best known for his iconic cartoon "On the internet nobody knows you're a dog," the most reproduced cartoon "The New Yorker" has ever published. He lives in Connecticut and spends a good part of each year in rural France, where his books take place.
