Blurb: “GAMES PEOPLE PLAY-OR GAMES PLAYED WITH PEOPLE!

War hero, jet-setter, gourmet-

Godwin Harpinshield was all of these and more;

his life was a game played among the Beautiful People whose fame, wealth and power set them above the law, and beyond the laws of nature.

Godwin never doubted his fortune, never wondered about his mysterious patrons.

Then the game turned ugly.

Suddenly, the ante was raised and the game was real.
