A Dangerous Fortune
by Follett, Ken
It’s 1866, and a tragedy strikes at the exclusive Windfield School when a young student drowns in a mysterious accident involving a small circle of boys. The aftermath spirals into a circle of treachery that will span three decades.
Exclusive men's club and brothels that cater to desires of London's upper class, dazzling ballrooms and mahogany-paneled suites, Ken Follett creates a striking array of contrasts. This novel shows a family splintered by lust, bound by a shared legacy, and swept towards greed, all fed by the truth of the young boy’s death.
First Edition Identification
The novel was first published in 1993 by Macmillan (UK) and by Delacorte Press (US).
The edition published by Macmillan is a brown hardcover copy, illustrated with a black and white plate.
