This book has it all! Murder, mystery, love, scandal all wrapped into one. If you haven't read a good book in awhile, I reccomend picking this one up. You won't be dissappointed.

the story was great! until the last chapter! it just didn't make any sense!I was truly disappointed

You would do yourself a favor to avoid this book that will insult your intelligence. Gould's writing style isn't bad but this yarn is hard to swallow--it includes a supposed "fountain of youth" that keeps two characters perpetually young, and other hard-to-believe things. If it stuck to being more real, it would be a great read.

When investigative reporter Stephanie Merlin gets on the trail of a professional killer, she enters into the life of the ultra wealthy and internationally influential from which she may not be able to intricate herself. When you're hooked, you're hooked and she kinda likes the luxury Edward can provide for her. When her ultimate destiny which hangs by a thread (where was Superman when you need him?) occurs and she descovers the identity of Ghost, the professional killer, Edward is lost in the process. Nothing is forever, and there is no fountain of youth.

They say time heals all wounds. It'll be a cold day in hell, she thinks, before hers can even start to heal. Only resurrection or resurfacing will aid the process along the way. Forgetting is essential. With Edward out of the way, the latent computer virus in their large, sophisticated system is spread to individual PCs and their programs. It erased the memory and filled the computers up with garbage. Some hacker(s) have tried that on mine because they don't agree with a single review. They are militants of the worse sort. Like that unethical crew of music players. The virus leaves nothing but useless hardware, which can be replaced, but all of the information is lost, as dead as Edward and the Ghost. Their computerized robotics with state-of-the-art machines were all destroyed. Before 1994, my biggest aim was to be able to operate robotics; Steve from Memphis who used my computer skills from the local temp group predicted that someday I would own a robotics factory. How wrong he was! As the song says, "Don't worry, be happy." Stephanie was given a huge emerald ring by Johnny from the wealth of Brazil's gem business, a cheap but enduring gift because she endured and is alive.

In a word-disappointing. The story line had promise, but the execution left something to be desired. I wanted to believe in the plot, but it was just too hard to do. Also, Moms will have a hard time with the final chapters.
