In the Amsterdam of 1659, Miguel Lienzo, a Jewish merchant of Portuguese origin ruined by the collapse of the sugar market, partners with Geertruid to monopolize the coffee trade. He must risk everything and face an enemy who wants to see him fall, in a plot where traditions clash with new business.

A title for readers of historical fiction and mystery, with a story of financial intrigue in the seventeenth century.
David Liss is an American writer of novels, essays and short fiction; more recently working also in comic books. He was born in New Jersey and grew up in South Florida. Liss received his BA degree from Syracuse University, an MA from Georgia State University and his M. Phil from Columbia University. He left his post-graduate studies of 18th Century British literature and unfinished dissertation to write full-time. "If things had not worked out with fiction, I probably would have kept to my graduate school career track and sought a job as a literature professor," he said. A full-time writer since 2010, Liss lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife and children.
