Paper Money

by Ken Follett Narrated by Philippe Pierrard

Overview

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. Les journalistes parviendront-ils à assembler les pièces du puzzle à temps pour l'édition du soir ?

Entre scandales politiques et délits d'initiés, Ken Follett nous dévoile la face cachée de la City dans un thriller addictif !

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

Originally published under the pseudonym Zachary Stone, this is a happily rediscovered suspense thriller written in the mid-'70s by Follett, the bestselling author of Lie Down with Lions. Its plot, set in London, and intended to show that crime, high finance and journalism are corruptly interconnected, is, according to Follett, the cleverest he has ever devised. The fast-paced action spans, in hour-to-hour fashion, one day in the life of an evening newspaper and features an adulterous politician, a corrupt financier, a criminal gang, a mentally retarded youth and an eager cub reporter, their linked destinies all moving toward a single and intensely exciting climax. Though painted in broad brushstrokes, the characters seem compellingly real, as do their professional environments. Follett can proudly acknowledge this one.
