I found this gem of a book on a remainder table. This is an engrossing read & had me enthralled from start to finish.
"Marla", "Elly" & "Lenny" are more than characters in a book - they are real.
The ending was very satisfying.

Release planned for Thursday, September 19, 2002 at Australian Taxation Office - in Albury, New South Wales Australia.

Planned for release September 19, 2002

Well, I have retrieved this book to release again. I saw it sitting at the security desk this morning & asked if it was there as "lost & found" or because one of the guards was reading it. "lost & found" it was. So, it's home here with me again & I will re-release it soon. As I now have it again - the blurb on the back says:
"Is Elly's love affair with a New York cocaine dealer too deep and dark to be broken - even by an old friend? Who is she most frightened of - the drug or her 'golden boy' Lenny? And when everyone has a different version of the truth, whose dazzling seductive tale can you believe? When Marla responds to Elly's call from America she finds herself ensnared in the twilight world of drug smuggling. Though she thinks she can tell the truth from lies, she too begins to get sucked in, equally fascinated and repelled by Lenny, master of the cocaine circuit. Obsession, betrayal & revenge twist into an ever tightening knot in this pyschological thriller."
