From AudioFile
Author Linda La Plante sets the stage for sexual deviance and murder in a chilling prologue that incorporates equal parts of THE BAD SEED and THE TURN OF THE SCREW. If revenge is a dish best served cold, then, some twenty years later, Justin and Laura Chalmers and their billionaire patron, Sir William Benedict, have prepared a gourmet feast for some of the nastiest people ever gathered in one place. Christian Rodska embodies each character with rare complexity. He imbues Justin's biting sarcasm to hide his own vulnerabilities with just the right nuance, and Laura's pathetic repetition of "thank you" takes us into her darkest experiences. Rodska's performance makes this twisted tale of child abuse and its ultimate consequence terrifyingly real. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Sir William Benedict has always desired acceptance from society's elite. Coming from a working-class background, the now very wealthy entrepreneur owns millions, alongside a small slice of paradise by way of an island in the Caribbean. William gets what he wishes for when the fast-rising Tory MP, Andrew Maynard enters his life. After pouring money in to Maynard's political campaign, William suddenly finds that he has the social status he has always craved. But his joy is premature After a political scandal erupts, William is shunned by the socialites that he believed were his friends. With his reputation in tatters, the entrepreneur turns to Justin Chalmers, and his sister, Laura, for help. William's island will no longer be a tranquil paradise, but the backdrop for his revenge. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR006476722
