Críticas:
A hearty sensuality and wry humor propel this energetic story, which moves from one exotic locale to another as Maguire pursues a possible serial killer. (Publishers Weekly)
...the book has a cleverly constructed plot, some engaging characters, and a suspenseful story. Although clearly aimed at Sheldon's legion of fans, the book should appeal equally to the broader range of thriller readers. (Booklist)
The ending is a great big surprise for the reader, the pace is action-packed to the extreme, and for any Sidney Sheldon fan--this is a truly early Christmas gift! (Suspense Magazine)
Reseña del editor:
From the mind of master storyteller Sidney Sheldon and based on extensive, never before published material from his private archives, a thrilling tale of murder, lies and lust. This is Sheldon at his most shocking, heart-racing best.
When elderly multimillionaire art dealer, Andrew Jakes, is found brutally murdered in his ransacked Hollywood home, his young wife raped and beaten, and his art and jewels stolen, the motive seems pretty clear. But when the investigation doesn't turn up a single, solid lead, the case is closed and his stunning young widow vanishes.
A decade passes before Andrew Jakes estranged son, Matt Daley, does a little digging of his own, only to find that three nearly identical killings have taken place across the globe in recent years. In all cases an elderly, newly wed millionaire is murdered and his wife assaulted. And in each case the widow is the sole beneficiary of the will, but donates all her new found wealth to children's charities...
Soon evidence arises pointing to one woman, dubbed by police as the Angel of Death, moving around the globe changing her identity over the years. Matt and former LA investigator Danny Maguire resurrect the old case, but when the so-called widow resurfaces once again it becomes clear that nothing is what it seems... and time is ticking before the Angel of Death claims her next victim.
