Synopsis
Ruthlessly, she had woven a web to catch others, but she was the one who was the victim of murder. The sophisticated guests brought their fears and stresses with them for the weekend. They had been fed the same menu of jealousy, greed, shame and betrayel. The only question was, who had hated her THAT much?

About the Author
John D MacDonald was born in Sharon, Pennslyvannia. A graduate of Syracuse University and Harvard School of Business Administration, he began his writing career when he was serving overseas with the United States Army during World War II. Instead of the usual letter home, he wrote a story to his wife Dorothy, which she successfully sold to a magazine. His move to 'pulps' meant that his first novel The Brass Cupeake was published in paperback in America in 1950. This led to over seventy books written in his lifetime, as he became one of the most widely read thriller writers in the world. His success was particularly recognized for his Travis McGee series, leading to critical acclaim and prestigious awards. John MacDonald died on Christmas Day 1986.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. A television star wilting under the limelight. An adman with a stiff upper lip. A rising New York artist. A desperate housewife. All are victims of a cruel puppet master?and one of them is a killer. The head of a global cosmetics empire, Wilma Ferris became a self-made success by taking everything people had to give?and more. Mixing business with pleasure is her standard operating procedure. And she's playing the same game when she invites eight of her closest friends?all of whom owe their livelihoods to Wilma?to a weekend party at her lake house. After a late-night skinny-dipping session turns into a frantic search for the missing host, it becomes apparent that one of the guests had seen enough. Wilma's body is pulled from the cold water, but the cause of death isn't drowning?it's a blow to the head. Was it a crime of passion or premeditated murder?
