Their glamorous honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling expos� that identifies Ira as 'an American taking his orders from Moscow'. In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and revenge friends become deadly enemies, parents and children estranged, lovers blacklisted and the great felled from vertiginous heights.
