RUN!
Life in Tahiti was perfect. Sun, sand, surf and pretty women – what more could a man with plenty of money and no aspirations wish for? And it had good coffee too. At least that was what Byron Symons had thought when he'd moved to the French Pacific years ago. And he'd been right. Until the day that his brother tried to kill him!
After that his life in Tahiti became less perfect. And what he most wished for was to keep living it – something that seemed to involve a lot of running and hiding and trying to work out why everyone was trying to kill him!
Meanwhile Dru Pemberton's life was never so perfect. Not since she'd been recruited by Six as a young offender and put to work as a spy. But at least planting listening devices was steady work – and it wasn't a prison sentence!
Then came the Symons family, dragging her into their business. Forty three siblings desperately trying to murder one another and a few others along the way. While somewhere behind it all was Henry Symons, billionaire industrialist and Darwin groupie who'd established a tontine to discover just which of all his children was actually the fittest. Who would survive.
It was true what they said. The rich really were different. And psychotic!

Awesome Completed Story
This story of rich folks breaking laws and mostly getting away with it was scary. The old law of whoever makes the gold makes the laws was prevalent in this story. A billionaire with 43 kids decides a last man/woman standing inherits all contest was acceptable. Apparently this is still legal in France. Super Twisted Read.
