About the Book

MONEY, HORSES, TV AND DEATH

Soap opera mogul Jethro Woods stashes untaxed millions in Ireland. His foxhunting buddy, Jimmie Lorgne, steals the money and flees. When they both fall in love with the beautiful Eva, she'll marry either scoundrel-once she discovers who is the richest!

Everyone wants to own the same slightly spooked palladian mansion-the strange Andrei Vokanov most of all. He'll kill for it.

And then there's the sexy IRS agent who's after Jethro. But is it official business or something else?

About the Author

Distinguished wit and bon vivant, novelist Richard Crissman has contributed to MONEY magazine and various publications of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Potomac Institute. His offbeat novels are about money and what it does to people: the power, the self-indulgence and the glamour! He shares the secrets of making, keeping and managing vast fortunes.

His characters are eccentric, foolish, and very human: nuts and nuggets. His plots are unexpected and as American as P. G. Wodehouse's plots were top-drawer British.

Crissman and his elegant wife live in Southern California, very much part of the milieu of which he writes.
