Description du livre
1866. Un jeune élève du collège de Windfield, non loin de Londres, se noie lors d'une escapade qui tourne au drame. Plusieurs garçons sont témoins de l'événement. Parmi eux, Edward Pilaster, l'héritier de la fortune des Pilaster, une richissime dynastie de banquiers, Hugh Pilaster, un cousin pauvre d'Edward, et Micky Miranda, fils d'un grand propriétaire terrien d'Amérique du Sud. Ce tragique accident - mais s'agit-il d'un accident ? - et les secrets qui l'entourent vont marquer à jamais ces trois garçons. Leurs destins ne cesseront plus de s'entrecroiser au fil des rivalités amoureuses et des luttes impitoyables pour s'assurer le contrôle de la banque. Bureaux lambrissés d'acajou des grands temples de la finance... Bas-fonds où gentlemen s'encanaillent dans le jeu ou la débauche... En faisant le récit haletant des passions qui déchirent cette famille, Ken Follett redonne vie à la fascinante Angleterre victorienne. Dans toute sa splendeur. Dans toute sa noirceur.
