HTML:<b>A breathtaking thriller featuring "political and amorous intrigues, cold-blooded murder, and financial crises" (<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>), from the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>A Column of Fire</i></b><br /> In 1866, tragedy strikes the exclusive Windfield School when a young student drowns in a mysterious accident. His death and its aftermath initiate a spiraling circle of treachery that will span three decades and entwine many lives.<br /> &#160;<br /> From the exclusive men’s clubs and brothels that cater to every dark desire of London’s upper class to the dazzling ballrooms and mahogany-paneled suites of the manipulators of the world’s wealth, one family is splintered by a shared legacy. But greed, fed by the shocking truth of a boy’s death, must be stopped, or the dreams of a nation will die.<br /> &#160;<br /> <b>Praise for <i>A Dangerous Fortune</i></b><br /> &#160;“A terrific page-turner.”<b>—<i>Los Angeles Times</i>&#160;<br /></b> “Political and amorous intrigues, cold-blooded murder, and financial crises . . . old-fashioned entertainment.”<b>—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b><br /> &#160;<br /> “Breathlessly plotted . . . relentlessly suspenseful.”<b>—<i>The New York Times</i></b><br /> &#160;<br /> “Gripping, complex plot . . . sexual intrigue . . . fascinating characters . . .
