Today, she thought of him as a gigantic asshole, both relentless in his need to “win” and indifferent to the people around him. A terrible, still couldn’t-process-it reason that left her with no choice but to get out of the marriage she’d once believed, naïvely so, would last forever.īack then she’d also considered him her best friend, a man she could trust, which now seemed trite. Gabby Fielding hated talking with her ex-husband. “In light of the facts and history, and the probability of further acts of violence, I’m requesting our most significant penalty.”Ī few members glanced up at the ringing command of the leader’s voice. They’d wait to vote until everyone had an opportunity to speak and all arguments had been heard and settled. “The first item relates to the individual referred to in the documents as Offender C.” They didn’t leave an electronic footprint and burned all documents after the meeting. “Let’s get started.” The meeting had been called to order without the need to yell or ask more than once.Īttendees immediately complied. Behind the scenes, in private, a smaller group within the Foundation carried out very different agenda. Very general-sounding in its purpose, and not by accident. To the public, a charitable organization set up by a select group of powerful women to fund special projects relating to women’s health and welfare. Aligned in their goal to take down the Foundation, Gabby and Jessa need each other but working together doesn’t mean they trust each other…or that either will survive to tell the truth.ĭarby Kane, the author of the critically acclaimed and #1 International Bestseller Pretty Little Wife, has crafted another gripping and twisty suspense about an invitation to an exclusive club that comes with deadly consequences.

She has nowhere to turn except former friend Gabby Fielding who is investigating the mysterious death of her ex-husband.

Once in the group, it’s impossible to get out. Jessa soon realizes, though, just how far she’s willing to go and how dangerous this game has become. After years of fighting and scratching to get ahead, she’s ready for a chance to make the “bad guys” lose. The invite comes when she’s at her lowest, aching for a way to take back control. Jessa Hall jumped at the mysterious, exclusive invitation to this secret club. Behind it all is a powerful group of women, the Sophie Foundation, who meet over wine and cheese to review files of men who behave very, very badly, and then mete out justice. There’s no apparent connection, no signs of foul play. Over the last few years, prominent people-a retired diplomat, beloved basketball coach, the CEO of an empire-have died in a series of fluke accidents and shocking suicides. They meet the second Tuesday of every month and vote…and then someone dies.
