A Dangerous Fortune by Ken Follett

This historical novel is about the fall of a bank  owned by the Pilaster family in the late 1800’s intertwined with murder and mystery. I didn’t find the novel as rich as World Without End and The Pillars of the Earth. But it was enjoyable nevertheless. Interestingly, the failure of banks in the novel is not all that different than what is happening today. Of course, back then there was no FDIC to protect the depositor and bank failures had devastating effects greater than what we are seeing today. Will we ever learn??
