Now, impoverished and humiliated, living in his younger brotherâ‚¬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 successâ‚¬"a daring plot to corner the market of an astonishing new commodity called â‚¬Å“coffee.â‚¬Â 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 Amsterdamâ‚¬s ruthless businessmen, betrayal lurks everywhere, and even friends hide secret agendas.
