Book 233. Bloodline. Sydney Sheldon. On the holiday to Greece in 1979 a woman on the beach took a shine to Peter and offered to take us for cake up a big hill. She had a bikini on and a scarf tying her hair up. She stood at the side of the road thumb upturned, untied the scarf and as her hair tumbled down 2 cars screeched to a halt. She chose the second driver who took us all up the hill. She gave us this book and tried to get us to meet her that night very late and the whole thing sounded dodgy to our 19 yr old ears. But we both enjoyed the book. 8/10. Em A herdeira, de Sidney Sheldon, os rastros da misteriosa morte do empresário Sam Roffe perturbam a vida de sua filha Elizabeth. Após uma série de atitudes suspeitas entre as pessoas ligadas à empresa, é preciso ficar atento aos olhares interessados na fortuna da segunda maior companhia farmacêutica do mundo. A empresa Roffe & Filhos, presente em todas as partes do globo, compreende uma dinastia de muitos milhões de dólares. A capacidade de fundar e administrar esse império empresarial fez com que Sam Roffe ficasse reconhecido mundialmente como um competente homem de negócios. No entanto, sua inesperada e misteriosa morte, somada à crise financeira enfrentada pela companhia, gera uma reviravolta no comportamento de pessoas até então confiáveis. Sempre dinâmico e bem disposto, Sam jamais poderia prever que precisaria de um sucessor tão cedo. E como exigia que os diretores e acionistas da empresa se restringissem aos membros da família, naturalmente sua filha Elizabeth assume a presidência. Porém, a herdeira não imagina que essa decisão pode lhe custar caro. Em meio a essa trama de paixões e conspirações, é necessário mudar as regras, nem que, para isso, seja preciso lançar mão de recursos ilegítimos, inclusive sabotagens e assassinatos. no reviews | add a review
