THERE''S NOTHING AS GOOD AS THE RICH GONE BAD
''One of the most deliciously twisted families ever put to page'' Riley Sager

With the death of his adopted mother, Camden McTavish hopes that he can finally be free of his scandalous family. Ruby McTavish was North Carolina''s richest woman, and its most notorious: the victim of a famous childhood kidnapping and a widow four times over.

Camden settles into a normal life and marries Jules, a woman eager to escape her own messy past. It seems like history might just stay buried...

But ten years later, his uncle''s death pulls Cam and Jules back into the family fold as sinister questions about the infamous heiress begin to come to light. What truth lies behind Ruby''s disappearance as a child? What really happened to those four husbands, all dead in mysterious circumstances? Why did Ruby adopt Cam in the first place?

Soon, Jules and Cam will realise that the bonds of family stretch far beyond the grave...
