About the book
Attractive, trendy, and financially secure thanks to his marriage, Philip Randall seems to have everything: a successful career at a prestigious law firm in Manhattan, a wife who enjoys all the luxuries her father's wealth can provide, a stylish loft in Soho, and a gorgeous mistress on the side. Despite the fact that his mistress, Jessica, is also the spouse of his best friend Connor, who they've been married for less than a year. However, when an old acquaintance resurfaces in his life armed with photographic evidence of their affair, Philip is plagued by the fear of being blackmailed and exposed - but he adamantly refuses to admit that he's finally encountered a situation he can't manipulate to his advantage. That is until he finds himself ensnared in a murder investigation. Could this be the moment when the ambitious and successful Philip Randall finally gets his just desserts?
