From Booklist:

One of Britain's most dynamic real-estate moguls, Bard Channing is so arrogant, ruthless, and egotistical, he makes Donald Trump look like Mr. Rogers. Verbally abusive and dismissive of everyone around him, Channing saves his special brand of venom for those closest to him—his third wife, Francesca, and his grown children. Maligning the people who need you the most is never a wise thing to do, but in Channing's case, such alienation has disastrous consequences. When an official investigation into the corporation's finances threatens, at the very least, to bankrupt Channing, Bard begs Francesca to lie for him. Whether she will or not is only one of the dilemmas at the heart of Vincenzi's ambitious debut novel. Originally published in the UK in 1996, it is now being offered to her growing American fan base. Although it would have benefited from some judicious editing, it nonetheless categorically establishes Vincenzi's mastery of intricate plots and large, if stereotypical, casts of characters. Readers who have recently discovered Vincenzi (Sheer Abandon, 2007) will delight at being able to go back to her beginnings, while those who have yet to read her will welcome getting in on the ground floor.
