Riassunto

Hot young British film star Amanda Delany had the world at her feet. She'd had a string of affairs with famous actors, making perfect fodder for the tabloids. Then came a commission to write a tell-all memoir. When Amanda is found brutally murdered, DCI James Langton's enquiry discovers the sad truth behind her successful facade. Addicted to drugs and starvation diets, she'd almost died from a botched abortion. Meanwhile, DI Anna Travis is up for promotion, but Langton is blocking her, accusing her of professional misconduct. This latest case could make or break Anna's career. **Lynda La Plante's Widows is now a major motion picture**

Dalla quarta di copertina:

A life that made the headlines.
A death that will expose the truth.
British film star Amanda Delany has the world at her feet. Young and talented, she has had a string of affairs with the hottest actors around. The tabloids can't get enough of her and she, in turn, can't get enough of the spotlight.
Then, late one night, Amanda puts the key in her front door for the very last time. The next morning, the press has gathered on her doorstep once again, this time to report on her brutal murder.
DI Anna Travis is shocked when she discovers the truth behind Amanda's glamorous public image. For all her fame and fortune Amanda Delany was lonely, damaged and afraid. But who would want to take her life?
While Anna and the team, headed by the ever demanding DCI James Langton, grapple to track down Amanda's killer, Anna has challenges of her own to overcome. Promotion is within her grasp, but when the time comes for her to stand before the board, she faces an adversary from the least likely quarter...
