What this book is about

Tracy Whitney, a young woman with everything to live for, is framed for a crime she didn't commit and sent to prison, where she survives through intelligence and will. When she emerges, she turns the skills she learned into a career as a master thief and con artist, working her way up to the world's greatest heist—and a nemesis who matches her. Sidney Sheldon's 1985 thriller is a propulsive fantasy of competence and revenge, with the dark content (prison rape, violence, manipulation) that defined his brand of adult popular fiction.
