On one fateful day in Britain, fortunes change hands as a suicidal Junior Minister, an avaricious tycoon, and a seasoned criminal all play parts in a scheme that moves paper money around at a dizzying pace. Meanwhile, an ambitious young reporter for the Evening Post scrambles to crack the story. This early novel from Ken Follett, the author of On Wings of Eagles and The Key to Rebecca, plunges the reader into the worlds of crime, high finance, and journalism on the way to a masterfully plotted dramatic climax.

Londres, années 1970. Un homme politique en vue s'éveille au côté d'une parfaite inconnue, tandis qu'une Rolls-Royce guette au pied de l'immeuble. Au même moment, un mafieux rassemble ses hommes de main et un magnat de l'édition décide de se retirer des affaires. Le soleil se lève sur la capitale britannique, amorçant une rafale d'événements : braquage, explosions, chantage, tentative de suicide, OPA, tirs de chevrotine... Une avalanche d'informations sans rapport apparent déferle sur la rédaction de l'Evening Post.
