Ken Follett - A Dangerous Fortune

It is 1866. At the highly-exclusive Windfield School, a student drowns in a mysterious accident. The students are confined to their rooms and, in time, the jury return a verdict: accidental death by drowning. There on that fateful day were Hugh Pilaster and his older cousin Edward, heirs of a powerful banking dynasty with connections that reach from London to far-afield colonies.

As adults, the cousins find themselves locked in a vicious competition for the top job at the bank. But as that deadly event from their schooldays resurfaces, it will threaten everything the Pilasters have built. Indeed, the respectable veneer of the family – and of Victorian society – looks set to shatter . . .
