Sleeping Cruelty by Lynda La Plante
Sir William Benedict is sumptuously wealthy, his pride and joy ownership of the Caribbean Island of St Martina. He is courted and adored by the rich, famous and royal. But when politician Andrew Maynard - into whose campaign Sir William is is pouring millions - commits suicide on the eve of the election, Fielding's reputation is in ruins. Overnight he turns from respected entrepreneur to social outcast, with the press desperate to link him to the Maynard scandal. How he faces the enemy, once his circle of friends, head on and takes ultimate revenge on those all too ready to discard him is the compelling storyline of Lynda La Plante's dramatic new novel.
