"Wheels" (1971), "The Moneychangers" (1975) and "Overload" (1979) also claimed the number one position on the national bestseller lists, further establishing Hailey as one of today's most popular novelists.In 1979, Arthur Hailey announced his retirement.

"Strong Medicine" was the wonderful result. Show less «
