Publisher Description

Jamie McGregor founded a family empire on diamonds stolen from South Africa - and a ruthless need for revenge. As control of McGregor's fortune falls into the capable hands of his granddaughter Kate, his business expands into a worldwide conglomerate. The cunning Kate proves herself a true master, using her own son and granddaughters as pawns in a game where the stakes are bigger than life or death. Roddy McDowall captures the suspense and surprise in this story of lust for wealth and power - and the price that people pay to get it. This title is also available in Spanish as El Amo del Juego.

"My goodness my roommate suggested this book. To be honest I read the first few chapters and was sucked in. Kate Blackwell you come to love and hate her as you learn about how she rose to greatness. Something to be admired a character so cunning, manipulative yet so endearing. Truth be told I am sad it came to an end.....but all good books do :("
