About

In this classic thriller, bestselling author Edward Stewart weaves a complex tale of sex, money, and murder In a private suite at a New York hospital, Beatrice "Babe" Vanderwalk Devens awakens from a seven-year coma. The socialite and fashion designer is stunned to learn that her husband, Scottie, was brought to trial twice-and acquitted-for her attempted murder. Across town, the naked, mutilated body of a young man wearing a black leather bondage mask is found in an empty apartment in the Beaux Arts Tower, high atop the Museum of Modern Art. Seven miles away, off-duty NYPD lieutenant Vince Cardozo is relaxing on a Brooklyn beach with his twelve-year-old daughter when he gets the call. Cardozo's investigation into the savage murder of the Beaux Arts John Doe takes him into the exclusive lairs of Manhattan's elite. Babe Devens is part of that world. When Cardozo uncovers a shocking connection between the two cases, it could topple more than just high society. A Book-of-the-Month-Club featured selection.

    Reviews

    "An edge-of-the-chair thriller."
    The Cincinnati Enquirer
    "Deftly using notorious scandals and murders, Stewart creates an immensely readable portrait of the privileged lives of his cafe-society cast of characters. . . . His spellbinding, witty thriller does a first-rate job of showing that truth is stranger than fiction."
    The Cincinnati Enquirer
    "Readable and provocative . . . the place names, familiar events and hints of real people . . . give Edward Stewart's [Privileged Lives] an immediacy that is irresistible."
    The New York Times Book Review
