  A mysterious, tragic accident in the 1950s; an inexplicable suicide twenty years later. What was the strange link between the two - and Caroline Hunterton's long-buried past? A secret which could not be kept for ever, especially from her two daughters, Chloe and Fleur. Fate had separated the sisters in time and distance - but bound them in mutual hatred - until journalist Magnus Phillips decided to tell the story that would tear their lives apart. Moving from wartime Suffolk to fifties Hollywood, from glitzy Madison Avenue to London's theatrical aristocracy and the machinations of cheque-book publishing, An Outrageous Affair explores the extraordinary, sometimes fatal, consequences of truth.

  Cloe Windsor discovered that the truth could kill when her famous, rich and charming husband committed suicide...Fleur FitzPatrick found out that the truth could kill during the long and painful journey to avenge her father's death. Caroline Hunterton had always known of its destructive power, but her long- buried past was a secret which could not be kept forever. From the Suffolk countryside in World War 11 to the decadence of post-war Hollywood, from the glitz of Madison Avenue to the excesses of the theatrical aristocracy in London-An Outrageous Affair tells the story of one such truth, brought to light by the brutal investigative skills of one man, and by the publication of the book he was determined to write.
