Millionaire industrialist Steven Taylor is a man who has everything but what he craves most: the love and fidelity of his wife. A hugely successful player in the New York financial world, he considers her to be his most treasured acquisition. But she needs more than simply the role of dazzling accessory.
"A powerful husband. An unfaithful wife. A jealous lover. All of them have a motive. Each of them has a plan."
