International superstar Joan Collins is back-with a new, explosive novel of obsession, glamour and intrigue that pulses with excitement from first page to last. From
war-torn Greece and Nazi-occupied Paris to the glittering excesses of Acapulco, murderous secrets and desperate passions have shaped the lives of the cast and crew working on the movie Cortez: Inès Juillard, the ravishing beauty with a star-kissed future, if she can keep her sordid past private...Julian Brooks, the British star out to conquer Hollywood, if he can control his desires... Umberto Scrofo, an Italian general whose perverse and sadistic wartime cruelty scarred many lives...Agathe Guinzberg, a war victim whose horrible privations left her with a mad thirst for revenge... Nick Stone, the talented movie director whose ambitions can't drown the grim ghosts of his past... Dominique du Frey, the young French vixen who manipulates men, ruthlessly getting what she wants...
On the sun-washed Mexican sands, they are drawn together in a powerful web of LOVE & DESIRE & HATE.
