About This Book
Amsterdam, 1659: On the world's first commodities exchange, fortunes are
won and lost in an instant. Miguel Lienzo, a sharp-witted trader in the
city's close-knit community of Portuguese Jews, knows this only too
well. Once among the city's most envied merchants, Miguel has suddenly
lost everything. Now, impoverished and humiliated, living in his younger
brother's canal-flooded basement, Miguel must find a way to restore his
wealth and reputation.
Miguel enters into a partnership with a seductive Dutchwoman who offers
him one last chance at success - a daring plot to corner the market of
an astonishing new commodity called "coffee." To succeed, Miguel must
risk everything he values and face a powerful enemy who will stop at
nothing to see him ruined. Miguel will learn that among Amsterdam's
ruthless businessmen, betrayal lurks everywhere, and even friends hide
secret agendas.
