A Dangerous Fortune

2019

by Ken Follett

In 1866, tragedy strikes at the exclusive Windfield School when a young student drowns in a mysterious accident involving a small circle of boys. This incident initiates a spiraling circle of treachery that spans three decades and entwines many lives.

From the exclusive men's clubs and brothels that cater to every dark desire of London's upper classes to the dazzling ballrooms and mahogany-paneled suites of the manipulators of the world's wealth, Ken Follett conjures up a stunning array of contrasts. This breathtaking novel portrays a family splintered by lust, bound by a shared legacy, and swept toward a perilous climax where greed, fed by the shocking truth of a boy's death, must be stopped, or not just one man's dreams, but those of a nation, will die.
