DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; Moderate Moisture Damage (Staining); In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. A Novel. BOOK NUMBER: 29652. COVER PHOTO: Mark Ledzian. SYNOPSIS: In a private hospital suite, a queen of New York society suddenly awakens from a seven-year coma-and the mystery of her past is reawakened with her. Crosstown, in a luxurious high rise, a corpse is found-hideously mutilated. One dedicated police detective traces a horrifying web of connection between the two cases. Privileged Lives is a stunning novel that moves relentlessly from precinct to penthouse in one driving, unforgettable narrative. It is at once a shocking tale of high society, high art, and high glamour; a gritty, hard-boiled police procedural; and a riveting murder mystery. It gives us New York high and low, and shows us the deadly results when the princes and princesses of the jet set come down to the street to play. Babe Devens is a survivor. Seven years earlier, Babe fell into a coma under suspicious circumstances-and became the society scandal of the time. But lingering questions spring to life when Babe miraculously reopens her eyes. And in another part of upper-crust New York, a ritualistic murder has been committed. Investigating both cases is Lieutenant Vince Cardozo, one of the city's finest: a tough, compassionate, totally committed professional who won't let the threats and influence of the rich and powerful deter him from digging into the dirty, explosive secrets that tie these two mysteries together. Cardozo's fierce desire for justice finds its match in Babe. She and Cardozo make a remarkably effective team, picking up the threads of the cases in the sensual playgrounds of the moneyed few, where pleasure is the only virtue and where corrupting wealth makes human life terribly cheap. From its electrifying opening to its stunning climax, Privileged Lives is a smashing, scandalous story that delivers all a novel should. Edward Stewart is the author of several other successful novels, including Ballerina, They've Shot the President's Daughter, and Ariana.
