Publisher Comments:

In The Rome Affair, a Chicago society couple rides a roller coaster of infidelity, blackmail and murder. Rachel Blakely and her husband, Dr. Nick Blakely, have been dealing with marital issues due to Nick's affair. While away on vacation with her best friend, Rachel commits her own act of infidelity with an intriguing Italian artist. The only one who knows about her affair is her travel companion and best friend, Kit. Upon returning to the states, Rachel goes back to her well-heeled lifestyle while her friend Kit's life — and mental state — begin to unravel. Kit decides to blackmail her best friend. In trying to keep her Rome affair a secret from her husband, Rachel goes to great lengths both emotionally and financially. The blackmail continues to increase and Rachel begins to lose control of her perfect life.

Review:

"This is Caldwell's most exciting book yet, with a plot that begins with an extramarital affair and develops into a tale of betrayal that makes an affair seem like the least of one's worries... It's a summer must-read." Chicago Sun-Times

Review:

"This book blew me away. The Rome Affair is a fabulous, hypnotic psychological thriller. Not only did I wait for the other shoe to drop, but then the next shoe, and the next... Laura Caldwell is a force we can't ignore." New York Times bestselling author Stella Cameron

Review:

"Caldwell expertly plucks at the reader's nerves building dread and doubt at a slow but deliciously inexorable pace. Almost Hitchcockian in its execution, this novel has the feel of a 50s film noire." Romantic Times

Synopsis:

Reeling from her husband Nick's infidelity, Rachel Blakely heads to Rome and engages in a passionate one-night stand. Upon her return, Nick is more loving than ever, and following his promotion the couple is welcomed into Chicago's high society. But there is a dark side--one that becomes a nightmare for Rachel. Original.
