About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Caprice and Rondo by Dorothy Dunnett, read by John Banks.

January 1474, in the deep cold of an ice-bound Danzig: a man is spending a frivolous winter not facing up to his responsibilities ... It is the merchant Niccolo, diviner, soldier, banker to Kings; shunned by all who know him after revelations of hismurderous mischief-making. But his talents are too great to be squandered, and a subtle political dance ensues as rivals in Poland, Venice, and Persia bid for his services in trade and war and diplomacy. Niccolo has lost his family; but he will discover a new purpose in life...

Chilly and chilling encounters

The mystery deepens, and Nicholas travels ever further overseas, while his former colleagues and family members reconsider their assessment of him and his actions. Disguise and deception, betrayal and danger abound, as Nicholas ranges across Eastern Europe and beyond.

Brilliant

The measured reading by John Banks catches every voice, every action, every thought, every twist of the plot - a wonderful sustained and consistent performance.
