Serena, Cate, Camilla and Venetia have grown up in a world where money can buy you anything. But as the old saying goes, it can't buy you love, and it certainly didn't buy them their father's. Oswald Balcon revelled in belittling his daughters, often bullying them to tears. Even in their later years he still seemed to despise them. But why did he appear to hate them so much? And did his constant sniping and backstabbing push one of them into committing the most heinous crime of all? Did one of Oswald Balcon's daughters finally snap and kill him? Set in the glittering arenas of show business, glossy magazines, interior design, law and politics these four women play out their lives constantly under the watchful eye of the public. But only they know what happens behind closed doors locked away from the paparazzi. And as tragedy and danger stalks every one of them, the scene is set for a stunning and totally unexpected climax. Here, glamorous locations, sexy and sensational characters and an explosive plot keep you guessing until the final finger-scorching page.
