A woman left to die in a vacant house, a hidden room with millions in treasure and three inept, self-absorbed characters create a climate of mistrust, infidelity, greed and disastrous bad choices in this insightful, wry novel. Annabelle is recovering from a devastating fall caused by her dance partner Bennett. To assuage his guilt, he has brought her to the home he shares with his husband, Elliot. When food prep leads to foreplay between Annabelle and Elliot, he views it as fair payback for his carelessness. When the three discover the hidden room and the treasure they debate whom to trust to dispose of it and what missteps and dangers that decision could create. Should Elliot and Bennett rely on their secret relationships with American government agencies? Or should they approach Annabelle's former husband, Vlary, a lobbyist in Washington DC for his father's Russian oil company, and a man with contacts at every legitimate and illegitimate level? Sex, betrayal, murder. As one character intones, No good can come of this.
