Publisher's Synopsis
Jacqueline Crawford is the biggest bitch ever lived in New York City. In record time and through lies and trickery, she's managed to get herself a millionaire husband, a social position, an enviable mansion and the perfect family. It should not surprise her, therefore that now it is her daughter-in-law Nicole, a traitorous and usurious bitch apprentice, who is about to take it all away from her by marrying her son.
But, despite having hired her for this purpose and the deep hatred she feels for her, the worst wedding gift Nicole will receive will not be from her mother-in-law: during the celebration of her marriage to Stephen (the Crawford's firstborn), a most inopportune earthquake will expose the remains of a skeleton conveniently covered behind the fireplace of the main hall.It'll then that Inspector Solomon Kensington must face one of the toughest jobs of his career: who is the mysterious inhabitant who has been buried in Crawford Manor's drawing room for twenty-five years? Entering a swampy dance of lies, accusations, blackmail, corpses and murders, the policeman will witness the strange curse that weighs on the members of such a mediatic clan. Horrified, Kensington will discover there is not a single member of the sordid Crawford family whose hands are not stained with blood, and dominated by rancor and a dangerous desire for revenge they will devour each other like cannibals trying to prevent their disturbing collection of secrets from coming to light. A mysterious renovation, secret plans and a construction manager unaccounted for are the starting point of this twisted story about greed, corruption and betrayal, where freedom comes at a very high price and sincerity and true love are the only currency.
