After a lavish night of guilty pleasures in Monte Carlo, four best
friends face an awful morning of arrests -- and a fight for
survival.
Only minutes after Abbie Elliot and her three best friends step off of a
private helicopter, they enter the most luxurious, sumptuous, sensually
pampering hotel they have ever been to. Their lavish presidential suite
overlooks Monte Carlo, and they surrender: to the sun and pool, to the
sashimi and sake, to the Bruno Paillard champagne. As the weekend moves
into pulsating discos, high-stakes casinos, and beyond, Abbie is
transported to the greatest pleasure and release she has ever known.
In the morning's harsh light, Abbie awakens on a yacht, surrounded by
police. Something awful has happened: something impossible, unthinkable.
Abbie, Winnie, Serena, and Bryah are arrested and accused of the foulest
crime imaginable. And now the vacation of a lifetime becomes the fight
of a lifetime-a fight for survival. Guilty Wives is the ultimate
indulgence, the kind of nonstop joy-ride of excess, friendship,
betrayal, and danger that only James Patterson can create.
