In 1980s Sydney, the weary divorce lawyer Elaine Voss is hired by a tycoon to destroy his ex-wife—the heiress Sophia Lancaster's family empire—through reputation blackmail. They meet beside the luxurious rooftop swimming pool and embark on a tense noir-filled female revenge seduction. An unreliable narrator reveals desire, betrayal and power games in psychological thriller prose, ultimately forging a seductive alliance in dark romance. The story is tailored exactly to the Australian mature relationship drama and psychological thriller market, incorporating local high-society culture, 1980s legal profession norms and the opulent atmosphere of Sydney rooftop parties.
