Another oldie from them, but more recent than the previous ones I've read--1995 for this one. This is reminiscent of the more recent On the Edge, with a heroine who's good at heart, but really screwed up. They really delve into the psyche and don't pull any punches. I'd have given it 5 stars, but the ending was a little too pat, and there were some hints of things that didn't go anywhere. Not for everyone--it's really... raw is a good description. Wealthy political family that thinks they can get away with anything, & mostly do. ( )
