Condizione: Used - Very Good. Product Description After the mysterious death of billionarie Victor Penn, his beautiful wife, Valerie, confronts deception, betrayal and murder when she goes up against her powerful and hostile in-laws From Publishers Weekly The plot of this massive first novel has many familiar bestseller ingredients. Valerie, a beautiful gifted pianist, learns she's adopted when leaving California on a scholarship to study in London, where she meets vital, sexy, handsome Victor, some years older than she, who refuses to consummate their love until they wed. Obsessed by Victor, Valerie finds marriage to him is a whirlwind of jet-set life, riches beyond credibility and frequent, detailed sex. After Victor apparently dies in a plane crash, Valerie (who doesn't know how to call out for pizza) has to support herself, and becomes a rich and famous entrepreneur. Then, she discovers that Victor courted and married her knowing she was the child of his elder brother Raymond. When the two men who woo her are mysteriously killed and her son is kidnapped, Valerie is convinced Victor is behind it all and sets out to find him. The narrative gallops along, but the novel is all surface, tiresomely repetitious in detailed descriptions of ostentatiously expensive possessions. Wilkins is bound to do better next time if she leaves out the trimmings and sticks to the meat of the matter.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal The chance discovery of his brother's illegitimate daughter leads wealthy Victor Penn into a scheme of devious immorality based upon the premise that money can buy anything. He marries Valerie, concealing their true relationship from her, and buying the secrecy of everyone else. When Victor's extravagances result in financial ruin, he fakes his own death. Although uninformed of his plan, Valerie believes that he is still alive. She is even more convinced after the deaths of her suitors and the kidnapping of her son. Outrageous injustice in the misuse of innocent human beings will make for popular appeal. But the obligatory detailed bedroom scenes cheapen Wilkins's first novel.
