"I thought he had a heart attack?" Lillian asked Sean O'Connor. "He did," the detective answered, "but the heart attack was a result of the poison on his system." All the family seated in the living room were suddenly quiet. Poison. C.R. Fromme was poisoned the day before at the luncheon to celebrate his birthday, a party hosted by his four daughters. Now the police suspect that one of them is a murderer.

And they need to find out who it is before they try again. At the death of their father, each sister will inherit $250 million, motive enough for murder. But deeper than the money, flow the feelings carried from childhood and never resolved. Can one sister finally make it right? Will one of them have to go to jail to finally even the score? And how many people will have to die as collateral damage? When is a murder too many?.
