It tells the story of the protagonist, the young and beautiful Elizabeth Roffe, who is also the heir to a billion dollar empire.
From shady backstreets to the up-market offices of the Roffe Empire, Bloodline is a hypnotic tale of love and ambition, danger, intrigue and death.
Ingeniously plotted and a thriller to the core, Bloodline, resonates with the brilliant pace that is the trademark of all Sidney Sheldon books and for me it carries a huge sense of nostalgia as well.
