Book comparison to Monte Cristo?

[dukeatholl]

Hi I was wonderring if anyone had any suggestions to which book would be good to compare to The Count Of Monte Cristo. Maybe some book that has a lot of deception or something in it. Thanks,

I love The Count of Monte Cristo, and have since I was in middle school. The ONLY book that I've ever read that felt similar in style and power is Susan Kay's Phantom. It's been hard to track down for years (a couple years, used paperbacks were going in the $45 range) but it was republished last year, and can be purchased for under $10 these days.
