Description
John Stone's life was one of unparalleled wealth and influence, allowing him to shape markets and industries across continents. But when he fell from his London home window, the question on everyone's mind was: why?
This panoramic novel takes us on a journey through time, tracing John Stone's character and motivations as we move backwards in chronology. From 1909 London to 1890 Paris and finally 1867 Venice, each part of the story reveals more about the man behind the legend.
A complex web of intrigue, love, and murder unfolds against the backdrop of high-stakes international finance, espionage, and the dawn of a new era. Iain Pears' masterful storytelling weaves together multiple threads to create an intricate and satisfying puzzle that will keep you engaged until the very end.
