Contents: Synopsis:

In 1886 a group of schoolboys play hooky in a ill-fated excursion that ends in a drowning at the Windfield School. The secret of what happened that day is a mystery that binds them over three decades. The truth could ruin one of England's most prominent families and, in turn, England.

Publisher's note:

The internationally acclaimed author of "On Wings of Eagles" (26 weeks on the "New York Times" paperback bestseller list) & "Night Over Water" (another long-running "New York Times" bestseller) is back with a stunning new saga of two rival 19th-century banking houses and a man who will stop at nothing -- not even murder -- to get what he wants. Pilasters is the traditional London bank; Greenbourne is a great merchant bank owned by Jews. One of Pilaster's boyhood friends from the country of Grenada asks him to underwrite a massive deal involving the buying of guns and other artillery for a revolutionary coup...a request that leads to the rise and fall of both banks.
