Publisher's summary
Una fortuna peligrosa es un juego de pasiones encontradas llevado con brío y penetración, así como una aguda recreación de los esplendores y miserias de las altas finanzas. Una obra llamada a sorprender a los admiradores de ese gran novelista que es Ken Follett y que ahora podrás disfrutar en formato audiolibro.
La riqueza de los Pilaster se basaba en el banco de la familia, una de las más sólidas y respetables instituciones financieras del Londres victoriano. En torno al consejo de administración, que preside el anciano Seth Pilaster, giran las ambiciones de la familia, sobre todo las de Augusta, su maliciosa nuera, y las de Hugh, nieto de Seth.
Augusta, junto a su falta de escrúpulos, cuenta con la alianza de Miguel Miranda, vástago de una brutal familia de caciques sudamericanos que desea contar con el apoyo del banco para sus proyectos de dominio. La lucha entre la perfidia de Augusta y la tradición de honradez de Hugh marcará durante treinta años los destinos del banco.
Ahora también puedes escuchar Una fortuna peligrosa en formato audiolibro.
Reseña:
«Un modelo perfecto de construcción de intriga, con una fenomenal progresión dramática.»

Ciertamente una misión casi imposible, ya que egipcios y palestinos no están dispuestos a contemplar pasivamente cómo se esfuma su gran baza para inclinar a su favor el conflicto de Oriente Medio. Una novela electrizante a partir de un suceso real.

Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Para el zorro la caza es un juego cruel
Entretenida novela de intrigas financieras, con buen desarrollo de personajes y ritmo. Aunque resulta predecible,
La narración es buena.
