Descubre el impresionante thriller de Ken Follett donde intrigas políticas, pasiones y traiciones se entrelazan a lo largo de tres décadas, prometiendo una experiencia de lectura inolvidable.
Immerse yourself in a breathtaking thriller, masterfully crafted by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Column of Fire, a novel brimming with intricate political machinations, passionate amorous intrigues, instances of cold-blooded murder, and devastating financial crises that ripple through society. The year is 1866 when a profound tragedy shatters the idyllic facade of the exclusive Windfield School, as a young student meets his end in what is officially deemed a mysterious accident. This single, devastating event and its unforeseen repercussions unleash a relentless, spiraling circle of treachery and betrayal that will unfold over three turbulent decades, inextricably intertwining the destinies of numerous individuals. The narrative sweeps from the clandestine, smoke-filled chambers of London's exclusive men’s clubs and the illicit allure of brothels catering to the darkest desires of the upper echelons of society, to the glittering ballrooms and the hushed, mahogany-paneled suites where the world's wealth is manipulated by powerful figures. Amidst this vast canvas, a single family finds itself irrevocably splintered, torn apart by a complex and often devastating shared legacy. Yet, the escalating greed, fueled by the shocking and long-buried truth surrounding the boy's death, must be confronted and ultimately halted, lest it consume everything and extinguish the very dreams and future of an entire nation.
