SYNOPSIS: In a private hospital suite, a queen of New York society suddenly awakens from a seven-year coma - and the mystery of her past is reawakened with her. Crosstown, in a luxurious high rise, a corpse is found - hideously mutilated. One dedicated police detective traces a horrifying web of connection between the two cases. Privileged Lives is a stunning novel that moves relentlessly from precinct to penthouse in one driving, unforgettable narrative. It is at once a shocking tale of high society, high art, and high glamour; a gritty, hard-boiled police procedural; and a riveting murder mystery. It gives us New York high and low, and shows us the deadly results when the princes and princesses of the jet set come down to the street to play. Babe Devens is a survivor. Seven years earlier, Babe fell into a coma under suspicious circumstances - and became the society scandal of the time. But lingering questions spring to life when Babe miraculously reopens her eyes. And in another part of upper-crust New York, a ritualistic murder has been committed. Investigating both cases is Lieutenant Vince Cardozo, one of the city's finest: a tough, compassionate, totally committed professional who won't let the threats and influence of the rich and powerful deter him from digging into the dirty, explosive secrets that tie these two mysteries together. Cardozo's fierce desire for justice finds its match in Babe. She and Cardozo make a remarkably effective team, picking up the threads of the cases in the sensual playgrounds of the moneyed few, where pleasure is the only virtue and where corrupting wealth makes human life terribly cheap. From its electrifying opening to its stunning climax, Privileged Lives is a smashing, scandalous story that delivers all a novel should. Edward Stewart is the author of several other successful novels, including Ballerina, They've Shot the President's Daughter, and Ariana.. First Edition 1st Printing. Hard Cover.

Paperback Book Condition: New. Signed by James H. Longmore at Fleur Fine Books. A true homage to the Creature Feature genre! The once luxurious Mountainview Spa Hotel in the heart of California's Coachella valley lies decaying, abandoned and heavily boarded up. Its secret; it is the site of a radioactive, "dirty" bomb explosion five years' previous. Zoology Professor Jane Lucas has a lifelong phobia of Scolopendra gigantea, the Giant Centipede, despite being the world's leading authority on it. Following the savage deaths of two young lovers who broke into the hotel for its natural underground spa, and the discovery of centipede remains almost three times its natural size, the professor teams up with four of her students to investigate. But their expedition becomes a fight for survival when they are trapped in the hotel with a gang of violent thugs - including the boyfriend of one of the female students with whom the professor has been having an illicit affair. They soon discover a voracious swarm of the oversized centipedes that has spawned within the hotel, but are horrified to learn that another creature even more terrifying hunts in the Mountainview's deserted hallways - a centipede of seemingly impossibly monstrous proportions; and it is ravenous and desperate to feed. . 2016.
