Back Cover: "Charismatic millionaire Sebastian Locke, the powerful patriarch of an esteemed American family, is a man renowned for his charm and intelligence. Committed to relieving the suffering of those in genuine need, he gives away millions every year to the poor, the sick and the innocent victims of natural disassters and wars. Whe he is found dead under mysterious circumstances at his country estate, the police are baffles. Who would have wanted to kill the world's most beloved philanthropist.
Vivienne Trent, a journalist, had been fascinated by Locke as a child, married him when she was a young woman, then later divorced him, but had always stayed close to him. Aware that there had been another side of this enigmatic man, she sets out to find the truth about his death--and life.
Following a twisted trail of secrets that winds from Connecticut to Provence, to Paris, London, and Africa, Vivienne uncovers startling revelations that will turn her life around--as once again master storyteller Barbara Taylor Bradford sweeps readers into the dazzling, turbulent life of a fascinating family--their love, lust, passion, ambition, jealousy, and pain."
Personally I cannot say enough about Barbara Taylor Bradford. Ever since I first read "A Woman of Substance" years ago, she hooked me in -- hook, line and sinker. I love historical novels and her books read like them. This is a great read and most entertaining. Made me look forward to bedtime where I have a little time to read every day.
