"Holly Smith is a young woman who finds out she is really Holly Randall and she is a inheritor to vast Randall Estate worth two hundred million dollars! She must live there with
her new relatives and when she does she enters a world of
murder and betrayal where nothing is what is seems! Savage
has written another chilling thriller of murder, greed and betrayal where nothing is what seems and no one is above suspicion and his fiendish plot twists don't end till the final page! This is a modern gothic thriller you will never forget. The Late Hitchcock would be proud to film this novel! "
