Closed Circle

'His narrative power, strength of characterization and superb plots...make him compelling reading.' - BOOKS. It is 1931, and among the first-class passengers on board a luxury liner are two confidence tricksters. Their target is the beautiful Diana, only child of the immensely wealthy Fabian Charnwood. It's a trick they've pulled before - charm the daughter into an engagement to marry, then get her father to buy you off. They make a pact: whichever of them wins Diana Charnwood's love will share his fortune with the other - but who would imagine that they would let their hearts rule their heads? Or that they would stumble into something much darker and deeper than either had suspected?
