Though set in the early 18th century, this well-written historical thriller will spur you to recognize all the characteristics of today's recent casino banking and financial bubble behavior. It's all happened before....also interesting look at the world of the "city" and the early stock exchange of London, as well as the treatment of jews in 18th century Britain--a topic I had no familiarity with before reading this hard-to-put-down thriller.
