Interesting Facts

• According to Karson’s admin, Anson Whitt, he was a jerk and opportunistic asshole. He was a trust-fund type, swanked around, pretended to work in the art world.
• One marriage at age 33, one divorce at age 34 (10 months total).
• Fourth generation money, one of the Banks Information and Entertainment titans.
• Argyle bought him out of their London place when they divorced.
• He owned a yacht and spent part of his summer on the Med.
• His official data listed him as worth 1.2 billion dollars, but the gossip pages told a different story. His ex-wife paid him handsomely to shake him loose and the art gallery was barely hanging on as Banks ran it into the red.
• According to Roarke, a wanker and a git and the brains of a bag of wet mice but sly and had slick charm.
• According to Karson, who dated him for about eight months, “he’s not a violent man. A user, an opportunist, a lazy, worthless son of a bitch, but not a man who’d kill”: He cheated on her after she wouldn’t lend him money a second time since he hadn’t repaid the first loan.
• Liana called him “the wastrel son.”
