"EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS EMMA FINN'S NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES" Max is wealthy and striking. He is ruthless and manipulative; sometimes even cruel and mercurial; and he has found his perfect match in his wife. Both live lives close to the very edge of propriety and fidelity, with soaring passions and devilish schemes. Max is a game player of epic proportions, but tonight it seems that all his games may finally come to an end. Tonight Max brings a beautiful call girl back to their apparently empty apartment and tries to have his way with her, but the girl has her own agenda and it soon becomes obvious that Max's wife does too. But when the girl makes her play for the jewellery in the safe and the seemingly absent wife sets her hidden schemes in motion, Max reveals that he has plots of his own. Thus begins an evening of strikes and counterstrikes as Max and his spouse fight to get one up on the other one final time with the stakes getting higher and higher and more out of control. This is going to be the end of it all and neither one of them is going to go down peacefully. "A TORNADO OF TWISTS AND TURNS"
