A branching story against the background of 19th century history and a colorful carousel of passions, hatreds, intrigues and Crimes - Wheel of Fortune is further proof of the mastery of global bestseller Ken Follett. Windfield School, an elite English institution for promising young men, is struck by tragedy in 1866: one of the students drowns under mysterious circumstances. Only a few pupils were present at the event and only a few know what really happened. However, no one knows how fatefully this death will connect their lives for the next three decades - Edward and Hugh Pilaster from the influential family of London bankers, Micky Miranda and Toni Silva from the wild South American Cordova, their families, friends, love... and how their mutual relationships, affections and grudges will go down in history. www.ken-follett.com
