Scion of industry Vestige of colonialism Cursed socialite Tragic
heiress Just who was Veronica Hawkins? When Martina Torres arrives
in the glamorous and vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong, newly married
to her high school sweetheart, the world seems to be her oyster.
But looks can be deceiving. Adrift in a foreign city, with no job
and no friends, Martina chafes in her new role as Expat Wife. But
her luck changes when she meets Veronica Hawkins. Beautiful,
sophisticated, and very, very rich, Veronica is the epitome of Old
Hong Kong--the last surviving member of a British mercantile
dynasty that built the city during its colonial heyday. Martina can
hardly believe her fortune when she's taken under Veronica's wing
and into her confidence, with Veronica helping her to find a new
apartment, a new career, and most importantly, a new self. Veronica
transforms Martina's life and then, shockingly, she dies. She
disappears over the side of a yacht during a party attended by Hong
Kong's most influential people -- yet somehow there are no
witnesses. Was it murder? Suicide? A terrible accident? What really
happened to Veronica Hawkins? Somebody knows but nobody's telling.
