The narrator of this novel is Heloise, nee Helen, a woman who has built a life for herself and her son, a life that is now in jeopardy. Heloise is a high-class madam, running a service near Washington, D.C. with some very well-placed men as clients. Heloise has a silent partner, a man who one controlled her life completely, a man who is now in prison serving a life-sentence. A man who is dangerous to cross. And Heloise has crossed him, but he doesn't realize it yet. With little formal education, Heloise isn't sure she can create a new life for herself that will keep her at the standards she has become accustomed to, if she manages to live at all. With suspense, good pacing, and an interesting story, this novel kept me interested right until the end. A very entertaining novel.
