LA ESPERADA CONCLUSIÓN DE LA TRILOGÍA QUE HA CONQUISTADO A MÁS DE 1.000.000 DE LECTORES La glamourosa e internacionalmente conocida marchante de arte Elisabeth Teerlinc sabe bastante sobre el mundo de las falsificaciones. Después de todo, ella misma no deja de ser una falsificación o una especie de fraude. Su verdadera identidad, Judith Rashleigh, se encuentra enterrada bajo una fina capa de mentiras. Por no mencionar la cantidad de cadáveres que se ha llevado por delante, de todos aquellos que querían entorpecer su camino. Pero ahora, atrapada en el fuego cruzado asesino entre un jefe de la mafia rusa y un detective de policía italiano corrupto, Judith se ve obligada a crear una obra de arte aún más atrevida, una obra maestra falsa que debe llevar a la famosa casa de subastas donde solía trabajar como humilde asistente, y vender la obra por 150 millones de dólares. Sin embargo, exponer su nueva identidad ante un espacio en el que puede convertirse en el centro de atención conlleva un riesgo mortal. «Una novela repleta de escenas que harían que Christian Gray se sonrojara.» Red Magazine «Divertida e inteligente.» The Times «Una lectura impetuosa.» Daily Mail «Un thriller gloriosamente oscuro.» Grazia «Rodeada de escándalo, intriga y misterio.» Heat «Una mezcla de Patricia Highsmith y Perdida .» Harpers Bazaar «Deliciosamente decadente… Una aventura llena de glamour.» Sunday Mirror

Hilton, Lisa

In 1682, a young woman in the throes of a passionate affair flees her parents' home in Surrey to seek a new life in London. A scandal in its own right, but this is no ordinary young woman- Lady Henrietta Berkeley is the daughter of one of England's most powerful men, and her lover is her own sister's husband... Inspired by this scandal, Aphra Behn would go on to write Love Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister, arguably the first novel in English literature. An immediate bestseller, it propelled Behn out of poverty and disgrace, yet she remains an enigma, the facts about her life continually disputed. In The Scandal of the Century, Lisa Hilton interweaves the story of these two rebellious and ruthless women. Against the backdrop of seventeenth-century England, with its strict traditional conventions of love, duty and identity, she shows just how far these women would go to break free.
