'His narrative power, strength of characterization and superb plots...make him compelling reading.' - BOOKS. It is 1931, and among the first-class passengers on board a luxury liner are two confidence tricksters. Their target is the beautiful Diana, only child of the immensely wealthy Fabian Charnwood. It's a trick they've pulled before - charm the daughter into an engagement to marry, then get her father to buy you off. They make a pact: whichever of them wins Diana Charnwood's love will share his fortune with the other - but who would imagine that they would let their hearts rule their heads? Or that they would stumble into something much darker and deeper than either had suspected?

About the Author:
ROBERT GODDARD was born in Hampshire. He read History at Cambridge and worked as an educational administrator in Devon before becoming a full-time novelist. He is the author of many bestselling novels, including Into the Blue which won the first WH Smith Thumping Good Read Award and was dramatized for TV in 1997, starring John Thaw.
From AudioFile:
This novel of intrigue is convoluted and somewhat implausible, but captivating nonetheless. The cast features two confidence artists, a beautiful heiress and her aunt, the heiress's fabulously wealthy father, and his international group of WWI profiteers. The adventure that ensues ranges across much of Western Europe; it demands a broad range of accents from the narrator and the ability to keep the listener from getting lost in the complexity of the plot. Bill Wallis does all of this terrifically well. His narration is pleasant and easy to follow, and each of the large cast of characters sounds different. Wallis is especially good at making women sound real without resorting to a falsetto. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
