Another Sheldon's master piece, I would dare say. Its got
everything you would look for in a crime, fiction book. Hard,
excitement, love, sex, death, family, trust, money, beauty...
I just simply recommend to everyone who reads my comment because
if you like Sheldon just like I do, then you wont be able to resist it.
With Sheldon's slow start and detailed characters,
you get to know them inside out. They feel as though they are
real, things happen as they are happening right now.
Then you know whats gonna happen. Murder and death.. love and sex..
Someone who tries to solve this and there always someone who tries
to hide something.
And then massive twist in the end.. As you always expect from
Sheldon..

This wonderful thriller is the story of Elizabeth Roffe, whose father has just died (or was he murdered?), leaving her heiress to a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical maker. She takes over the reins of the company, with the help of Rhys Williams, a handsome but mysterious self-made man. Elizabeth's four quirky cousins and co-owners of the company each have shady pasts and need money, badly. They are pressuring her to allow the company to go public; she refuses, and becomes the target of an unknown assassin.
This is a book you will not be able to put down. The story is full of fascinating flashbacks, detailing the often bizarre lives of all the Roffes: Alec from London, Helene from Paris, Anna from Berlin, and Ivo from Rome. Each one has a reason to want Elizabeth out of the way, and as the attempts on her life increase, the tension mounts until the killer is revealed in a truly frightening conclusion. Highly recommended for Sidney Sheldon fans and everyone who enjoys fast-paced stories full of action and memorable characters. This book was made into an all-star movie with Audrey Hepburn, Omar Sharif, and James Mason.

I have only read a few Sheldon books so far, and this one was by far the best!
This story has it all, romance, tragedy, mysery, suspense and horror. It was interesting to look inside a Global Business, and see how things really happen. It's a jungle out there!
You fall in love with the main characters easily in this book, and hope for that happy ending. I also loved the look back through time in this story, and thought this was a very vital part of introducing the reader to Elizabeth.
All of the key characters are described brilliantly, so you feel as if you really know them.
And, the finale, the 'villian' of this story was not who i expected, but to look back the clues i suppose were all there. The final scenes were nail biting gripping!
This story travels the world, and Sheldon's knowledge of the languages was brilliant, and really brought the characters to life.
If you have never read a Sheldon book before, make this your first one. It's a great story, with twists and turns that will keep you guessing, and keep you turning the pages for more!
