Publisher's summary

THE PRINCIPALS

Paul Wheeler. CEO of the Wheeler Enterprises empire. At age 52, he's a pillar of Atlanta society and a brilliant businessman. But Paul is out of the picture even before the opening credits -- shot dead during an armed robbery.

Julie Rutledge. A savvy, cultured, and attractive Southern woman, seasoned by a stint of study and romance in Paris. She owns the city's most successful and sophisticated art gallery on Peachtree Street. She was also Paul Wheeler's weekly companion at the hotel where he was murdered and was hand in hand with him at the time of his death.

Derek Mitchell. A defense lawyer of renown. Successful, handsome, and despised by the Atlanta PD for his courtroom victories, he goes to the mat to make a case for every client - and headlines for himself. A guilty verdict is not an option. Yet he's not entirely without a conscience, as proven when his life takes a terrible turn toward the cinematic.

Creighton Wheeler. The prodigal nephew of Paul. With movie-star looks and guileless blue eyes, the 28-year-old playboy has a penchant for call girls, fast cars, and designer clothes. But his passion is movies. He studies them, quotes them...and lives them. Even those closest to Creighton can't be sure when he exits reality and enters the fantasy world of films.

STORYBOARD

The murder of Paul Wheeler has all the elements of a blockbuster: family rivalries, incalculable wealth, and a prominent man dying in the arms of his beautiful mistress. It's a case that could earn Derek Mitchell even greater star power. When the Wheeler family approaches him about defending Creighton for his uncle's murder -- even before he's charged -- he jumps at the chance.

But Derek soon discovers that Julie will stop at nothing to secure justice for Paul...

GREAT STORY!!!

I loved this book by Sandra Brown. I thought the plot was headed in one direction-only for it to twist-and twist-and twist again. It will keep you guessing and surprised all the way through. Brown also sheds light on the privileged parts of our society that seem to forever escape the law when they break the rules. This is a great book that leaves you feeling good after you finish.

Another good one!

I so enjoy Sandra Brown’s books. My favorite thing about them is their is always a twist near the end! I did enjoy the story. I kept me intrigued. As usual Victor does a great job! Always a pleasure to listen to him. He always makes the characters come alive! Great listen. Recommend!!

Loved the classic movie references

Well written. The groundwork was laid out perfectly. No need to rush the ending. Thank you.

Loved this book! Sandra Brown at her best! I look forward to her next book.

I really like Sandra Brown novels, but....

I could really do with more abbreviated sex scenes. It’s just a bit much sometimes, and not realistic.
