Summary

Everyone's talking about Phillipa Lye. Despite a shadowy past, she has somehow married the scion of the last family-held investment bank in the city. And although her wealth and connections put her in the centre of this world, she refuses to conform to its gossip-fuelled culture. Then, into her precariously balanced life, come two women: Gwen Hogan, a childhood acquaintance who uncovers an explosive secret about Philippa's single days, and Minnie Curtis, a newcomer whose vast fortune and frank revelations about a penurious upbringing in Spanish Harlem put everyone on alert. When Gwen's husband, a heavy-drinking, obsessive prosecutor in the US Attorney's Office, stumbles over the connection between Philippa's past and the criminal investigation he's pursuing at all costs, this insulated society is forced to confront the rot at its core and the price it has paid to survive into the new millennium.
