Synopsis

Desire leaves a man destroyed ... A young girl's curiosity reveals secrets better left hidden ... Jealousy drives a woman mad ... An obsession with numbers precipitates a deadly revenge ... Ambition leads to a curious exchange ... An uncanny likeness changes two lives forever ... The hand of fate lies buried in the past ...

An unforgettable novel in sixteen parts by some of the most prestigious crime writers working today.

One bracelet, sixteen charms ...
