Guilty pleasures

Moving between the swampy wilds of the Florida Everglades and the boardrooms of Manhattan, this novel follows the Folsby family and traces the past that shaped them. Beneath their lofty corporate standing lie hidden secrets with the power to bring down the empire they have built.

Lawrence Sanders, whose work includes the Deadly Sins series and the Archy McNally mysteries, uses the family's history as the engine of the story, letting each revelation push the stakes higher.
