When Martina Torres arrives in the glamorous and vibrant metropolis of Hong
Kong, newly married to her high school sweetheart, the world seems to be her
oyster. But looks can be deceiving. Adrift in a foreign city, with no job and
no friends, Martina chafes in her new role as Expat Wife.

Her luck changes when she meets Veronica Hawkins. Beautiful, sophisticated,
and very, very rich, Veronica is the epitome of Old Hong Kong - the last
surviving member of a British mercantile dynasty that built the city during
its colonial heyday. Martina can hardly believe her fortune when she's taken
under Veronica's wing and into her confidence, with Veronica helping her to
find a new apartment, a new career, and most importantly, a new self.

Veronica transforms Martina's life and then, shockingly, she dies. She
disappears over the side of a yacht during a party attended by Hong Kong's
most influential people - yet somehow there are no witnesses.

Was it murder? Suicide? A terrible accident? What really happened to Veronica
Hawkins?

Somebody knows but nobody's telling.
