Query: A Seemingly Unlikely Premise for a Great Novel

At first hand, the premise for Charles Epping's novel "Trust" would not sound terribly interesting. In 1938, a year before the outbreak of World War II, the manager for a wealthy German Jewish family sets up an account at a Swiss bank under an assumed name (a so-called Treuhand account) so that if the Nazis invade Switzerland, they would not be able to confiscate the assets of Jewish account holders. Both the family patriarch and the manager perish during the war and by the dawn of the 21st Century, the account has grown to over $[...] Million in value and the heirs to the fortune have never been told of the account's existence.This sounds like the setup for a dull work that would be of interest only to accountants. In the hands of all too many writers, it would be an exerise in dullness. However, author Charles Eppings carries it off with style and grace and the end result is a most unusual, yet compulsively interesting novel.It is most recommended.
