Con ingenio e imaginaci�n, David Liss describe un mundo de subterfugios y peligros, donde arraigadas tradiciones culturales y religiosas chocan con las exigencias de una nueva y emocionante forma de negocios

Amsterdam, 1659. En la primera bolsa de valores del mundo, la riqueza se hace y se pierde en un instante. Miguel Lienzo, un h�bil comerciante de la comunidad jud�a de origen portugu�s, lo ha perdido todo por el repentino hundimiento del mercado del az�car. Obligado a vivir de la caridad de su mezquino hermano, est� dispuesto a hacer lo que sea por cambiar su suerte. En contra de las reglas de la comunidad jud�a, decide asociarse con la seductora Geertruid en un osado plan para monopolizar el tr�fico de una nueva mercanc�a: el caf�. Para triunfar, Miguel tendr� que arriesgarlo todo y poner a prueba los l�mites de su astucia; al tiempo que se enfrenta a un enemigo que no se detendr� con tal de verlo caer.
