內容簡介 「聰慧、暗藏黑色幽默且筆觸精湛」 ★ 史丹利・圖奇（Stanley Tucci） 「伊麗莎白・戴的巔峰之作」 ★ 多莉・奧爾德頓（Dolly Alderton） 「一幅誘惑人心的特權與權力肖像」 ★《泰晤士報》 在這部充滿背叛、陳年羈絆與塵封醜聞的引人入勝故事中，一個英國上流家族終於正視特權的代價與權力的真正成本。 馬丁與班曾是數十年的好友——至少馬丁如此認為——直到班 40 歲生日派對上的一場災難讓兩人決裂。七年後，馬丁意外收到來自光彩奪目的費茲莫里斯家族的邀請函，重返那個封閉的內圈。他無法抗拒復仇的誘惑。 班已權力扶搖直上，成為呼聲最高的下一任首相人選。然而馬丁卻發現了一些不協調的細節——例如班的妻子塞瑞娜，她的奢華生活已漸成金籠；女兒柯西瑪，一位環保鬥士，正對抗父母曾信奉的一切；還有失勢的國會議員理查・泰克，他渴望東山再起；以及費茲莫里斯家族的異類芙莉絲，她的離奇死亡引發更多懷疑而非真相。這些錯綜複雜的故事揭開了一個家族——甚至一個國家——在秘密重壓下的崩解。 眾目睽睽之下，一場清算已然展開。馬丁與班必須正面對決，當家庭、權力與忠誠都岌岌可危時，愛的真諦究竟為何？ 「以娛樂性與懸念道出權力真相」 ★ 瑪麗安・凱斯（Marian Keyes） 「聰明且結構精巧」 ★ 凱特・摩絲（Kate Mosse） 「文字華麗、令人屏息，角色令人又愛又恨」 ★ 莎拉・柯林斯（Sara Collins） 「思考型驚悚小說，兼具海史密斯與伊夫的風格……情節緊湊非凡」 ★ 露西・佛利（Lucy Foley） ✨ 伊麗莎白・戴（Elizabeth Day）曾以《Friendaholic》榮登 2024 年 3 月 18 日當週《星期日泰晤士報》暢銷榜第 2 名。‘Intelligent, darkly humorous and brilliantly written’ STANLEY TUCCI‘This is Elizabeth Day's writing at its finest’ DOLLY ALDERTON‘A tantalising portrait of privilege and power’ THE TIMESIn this compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals, one British establishment family comes face to face with the consequences of privilege and the true cost of power.Martin and Ben were friends for decades ― best friends, Martin would have said ― before the terrible events at Ben’s 40th birthday party tore them apart. So when Martin receives a surprise invitation back into the inner sanctum of the dazzling Fitzmaurice family after seven years of silence, he can’t resist the chance to get his revenge.Ben has risen through the ranks of power, and is now touted as the next Prime Minister. But Martin can’t help but notice certain flies in the ointment… Ben’s wife, Serena, for instance, whose privileged existence is beginning to feel like a gilded cage. Or their daughter, Cosima, an environmental activist fighting against everything her parents once stood for. Or the disgraced MP Richard Take, determined to make his big comeback. And then there’s Fliss, the Fitzmaurice black sheep, whose untimely death sparks more suspicion than closure. Through their intertwined stories, we see a family – and a nation – unravelling under the weight of its secrets.With everyone watching, the stage is set for a reckoning. It's time for Martin and Ben to confront what love truly means when everything―family, power, and loyalty―is on the line.‘Speaks truth to power in such an entertaining, gripping way’ MARIAN KEYES‘Clever and superbly crafted’ KATE MOSSE‘Gorgeously written, utterly compelling, and full of characters you will love and hate – and also love to hate’ SARA COLLINS‘The thinking person’s thriller.
