Krátky popis
Set amid the decadence of Victorian England, A Dangerous Fortune is
a rip-roaring work of historical fiction from the legendary author
of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett. It is the tale of the
wealthy Pilaster family – and a death that will have repercussions
for decades to come . . .'Compulsively readable' – Sunday TimesA
Tragic Accident . . .It is 1866. At the highly-exclusive Windfield
School, a student drowns in a mysterious accident. The students are
confined to their rooms and, in time, the jury return a verdict:
accidental death by drowning.A Fierce Rivalry . . .There on that
fateful day were Hugh Pilaster and his older cousin Edward, heirs
of a powerful banking dynasty with connections that reach from
London to far-afield colonies.A Lethal Secret.As adults, the
cousins find themselves locked in a vicious competition for the top
job at the bank. But as that deadly event from their schooldays
resurfaces, it will threaten everything the Pilasters have built.
Indeed, the respectable veneer of the family – and of Victorian
society – looks set to shatter . . .'Banks, brothels, and a high
body count . . . it's all there' – Financial TimesRich in
historical detail and suspensful to the last, A Dangerous Fortune
is a powerful, gripping historical saga from the master Ken
Follett.
