Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | 'The glitter of the elite hides the darkest of betrayals... Berkeley, California 1944: A former presidential candidate is assassinated in one of the rooms at the opulent Claremont Hotel. A rich industrialist, Walter Wilkinson could have been targeted by any number of adversaries. But Detective Al Sullivan's investigation brings up the spectre of another tragedy at the Claremont ten years earlier: the death of seven-year-old Iris Stafford, a member of the wealthy and influential Bainbridge family. Some say she haunts the Claremont still. The many threads of the case keep leading Sullivan back to the three remaining Bainbridge heiresses, now adults: Iris's sister, Isabella, and her cousins Cassie and Nicole. Determined not to let anything distract him from the truth - not the powerful influence of the Bainbridges' grandmother, or the political aspirations of Berekley's district attorney, or the interest of Chinese first lady Madame Chaing Kai-Shek - Sullivan follows his investigation to its devastating conclusion.' - cover |
