In the 1920s, Reis forged a contract in the name of the Bank of Portugal, enabling him to print vast quantities of legitimate banknotes. With his newfound wealth, he bought a bank, fueled a national economic boom, and nearly took over the country’s entire financial system. Gifford weaves a masterful tale of audacity, greed, and high-stakes intrigue that moves from the corridors of power in Lisbon to the clandestine printing houses of London. It is a gripping exploration of how one man’s ambition almost brought a nation to its knees.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750393524443,"sku":"2026200005429-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/badca5aa-18ad-44ab-a19a-078abf3253d1.png?v=1778096053","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005429-secondhand-the-man-from-lisbon","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
