Synopsis
When a Palm Beach widow dies, the dispute over her will turns deadly in this "breathlessly paced legal thriller" from a New York Times-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly). When wealthy Palm Beach dowager Althea Tillett dies under suspicious circumstances, it sparks a battle between those in line for an inheritance--including Gail Connor's old law school classmate and former lover Patrick Norris. He thinks someone has tampered with his aunt's will--preventing him from receiving millions he hoped to use for an urban renewal project.
Although discouraged from getting involved by her own law firm and her lover, Cuban-American attorney Anthony Quintana, Gail agrees to look into Althea's rapacious relatives. But she soon finds herself in the middle of a family feud that's about much more than money. It's about secrets, lies, forgery . . . and murder.
Written by a former prosecutor, this "provocative, breathless" national bestseller "will surprise you" (The Plain Dealer).
