About the book
Beirut, 1964. There is no exchange control, the banks have been forbidden to answer questions since 1956, and gold moves through the port like sugar. A trading house founded in 1867, holding agencies in eleven countries, comes up for sale, and three bidders declare themselves; the third is a nominee and nobody knows for whom. Aurelia Fanshawe is thirty-six, keeping up a pose that now costs more than her salary, and spends the year establishing who is behind the nominee. The answer is that a dining club has stopped selling introductions and started buying the things it used to introduce people to, and that some of the money is British.
