L'appassionante storia di quattro donne unite da amore, passione e inganno, e da un piano di vendetta cosi diabolico che neppure le sofisticate misure di sicurezza di un superattico di Beverly Hills possono arrestare il suo ineluttabile corso. Janna Maxell, una donna che controlla un vasto impero finanziario, vive con la madre nella "strada d'oro", una delle vie più scintillanti e lusuose di Beverly Hills. Ma una sera la loro protettissima casa viene messa all'aria e tutti gli orrori sepolti nel passato ritornano a far parte del presente. Pochi giorni prima della caduta del ghetto di Varsavia, quattro donne -- Anna, Janet, Geneviève e Keja -- vengono incaricate di portare una fortuna in gioielli in Svizzera. Durante lo spaventoso viaggio attraverso l'Europa devastata, Keja muore dando alla luce una bambina, Janna, di cui le altre si prenderanno cura. Dopo la guerra Geneviève si stabilisce a Ginevra, Janet a Singapore e Anna a New York, dove alleva Janna Come una figlia. Ma quando Janna tenterà di scoprire l'identità del padre, cercando l'aiuto di tutte e tre le donne, farà emergere ricordi dolorosi, alleanze e inganni che getteranno un'ombra minacciosa sulle loro vite. Una storia avvincente che esplora un tragico retaggio di guerra, un senso di colpa che lentamente si trasforma in desiderio ossessivo di castigo e redenzione. John Sherlock, nato e cresciuto in Inghilterra, è autore di sei romanzi. 'The Golden Road' is a story of four women linked by love, passion and deceit, and a plan for revenge so diabolical that even the sophisticated security measures of a penthouse in Beverly Hills is unable stop its inevitable course. Janna Maxell, a woman who controls a vast financial empire, lives with her mother in the "golden road", one of the most glittering and luxurious sections of Beverly Hills. But one night at their house all the horrors buried in their personal pasts are once again brought to the fore. A few days before the fall of the Warsaw ghetto, four women - Anna, Janet, Genevieve and Keja - are charged with carrying a fortune in jewels to Switzerland. During the terrifying journey across Europe Keja dies giving birth to a daughter, Janna, who the other women take care of. After the war they first settle in Geneva. Genevieve, Anna and Janet then travel to Singapore and eventually to New York, where Anna raises Janna as her own daughter. But when Janna eventually attempts to discover the identity of the father, asking for help from all three women, her curiosity brings out some very painful memories that cast ominous shadows over all of their lives. A compelling story that explores a tragic legacy of war: a sense of guilt that slowly turns into obsessive desire for punishment and redemption. John Sherlock was born and raised in England and is the author of six novels including 'State of Emergency', 'The Amindra Gamble' and 'JB's Daughter'. 5.8"x8.8", 491 di pagine (pages).
