His death and its aftermath initiate a spiraling circle of treachery that will span three decades and entwine many lives.<br><br>From the exclusive men’s clubs and brothels that cater to every dark desire of London’s upper class to the dazzling ballrooms and mahogany-paneled suites of the manipulators of the world’s wealth, one family is splintered by a shared legacy.
