Synopsis
Published for the first time in the United States, Sea Change is a deliciously complex thriller by Robert Goddard, the internationally bestselling author who has been called “a master of the clever twist” (Sunday Telegraph) and “a truly creative storyteller” (Guardian).
January, 1721. London is reeling from the effects of the greatest financial scandal of the age—the collapse of the South Sea Bubble, which plunged the nation into recession. William Spandrel, a penniless mapmaker, is offered a discharge of his debts by Sir Theodore Janssen, a director of the South Sea Company, on one condition: He must secretly convey an important package to Amsterdam.
With the package safely delivered, Spandrel barely survives an attempt on his life, only to discover that the recipient has been murdered, and that he himself is the prime suspect. Spandrel quickly realizes that he has become a pawn in a very dangerous game. British Government agents, and others, are on his trail, believing that the mysterious package contains secrets that could spark a revolution in England. Spandrel’s only chance of survival is to recover the package and place its contents in the right hands. But what are the contents and whose exactly are the right hands?

Reviews
What a deceptive reader Paul Shelley is. As he begins Goddard's novel about intrigue in eighteenth-century London, you think he is a perfectly suitable, if uninspiring, companion. But as Goddard's panoply of characters make their appearances, you begin to see Shelley's astonishing range. He proves himself a master of virtually any British dialect while also imbuing Goddard's rich cast of characters with suitable degrees of churlishness, malevolence, and disdain. The novel concerns the pursuit of a mysterious ledger whose contents could destroy the powerful and very likely overturn a monarchy. There's suspense enough to keep the reader listening, but Shelley's skills cinch the deal. M.O. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Condition: Good. : En enero de 1721, Londres se tambalea por los efectos del mayor escándalo financiero de la época: el colapso de la Burbuja del Mar del Sur, que sumió a la nación en la recesión. William Spandrel, un cartógrafo sin dinero, recibe una oferta de Sir Theodore Janssen, director de la Compañía del Mar del Sur, para saldar sus deudas con una condición: debe transportar en secreto un importante paquete a Ámsterdam. Tras entregar el paquete de forma segura, Spandrel apenas sobrevive a un intento de asesinato, solo para descubrir que el destinatario ha sido asesinado y que él mismo es el principal sospechoso. Spandrel se da cuenta rápidamente de que se ha convertido en un peón en un juego muy peligroso. Agentes del gobierno británico y otros están tras su pista, creyendo que el misterioso paquete contiene secretos que podrían desencadenar una revolución en Inglaterra. La única oportunidad de Spandrel de sobrevivir es recuperar el paquete y poner su contenido en las manos adecuadas. Pero, ¿cuál es el contenido y cuáles son exactamente las manos adecuadas?
