Sí, Judith ha dejado una estela de sangre en su camino, pero su nueva vida como galerista en Venecia, rodeada de elegancia y codicia, representa todo lo que siempre ha querido ser. Y, además, a puerta cerrada, la alta sociedad ofrece un montón de lujuriosas actividades de las que Judith continúa disfrutando.

By day Judith Rashleigh is a put-upon assistant at a London auction house. By night she's a hostess in one of the capital's unsavoury bars. Desperate to make something of herself, Judith knows she has to play the game. She's learned to dress, speak and act in the interests of men. She's learned to be a good girl. But after uncovering a dark secret at the heart of the art world, Judith is fired and her dreams of a better life are torn apart. So she turns to a long-neglected friend. A friend that kept her chin up and back straight through every past slight. A friend that a good girl like her shouldn't have: rage.
