Owen Burgess was an expert con-man and art thief. Or so he thought… But he made one fatal error. He failed to realize the trail of enemies he was leaving in his wake - and now they are coming back to haunt him. Burgess has met a wealthy Texan who is an avid, secret collector of fine art. If Burgess plays his cards rights, he can realize a lifelong ambition realized whilst taking some long overdue revenge. But he is also interested in Sally Trent, a prospective employee for the Gallery he runs with his partner. His immediate attraction to her confirmed that he was tiring of his present mistress, Dinah Calder. The fact that Sally was happily married would be no bar to his plans. As Burgess developed his schemes, others were taking a long, harsh view of him. Ruth Lyle’s held Burgess responsible for her husband’s violent death and her loathing for him was no secret. Jack Calder knew there could be no reconciliation with his wife while Burgess remained on the scene. And Owen’s wife Louise was being shaken from her indifference to her husband’s activities. She could no longer endure seeing her friends being sacrificed one by one to feed his ambition. The question is not if, but who will get to Burgess first…?
