Typical Jackie Collins' fare. Hyper-sexed, overly dramatic trashy people and places. The kind of stories that make you happy to be poor, because obviously money doesn't buy happiness. Very dated 70s scenario, but a great one afternoon read, if one needs to come down from serious academic work.
Román americké autorky vypráví o pomstě tří žen na rodině mafiánského bosse, který dal zavraždit bojovnici za ženská práva. Tři mstitelky jsou sestrami zavražděné, dvě z nich jsou prostitutky. Tyto ženy se rozhodnou, že nejlépe se pomstí, když zničí tři syny muže, jenž dal jejich sestru zastřelit. Všechny tři pak skutečně své vyhlédnuté oběti dostanou a román končí zkázou mafiánovy rodiny a uspokojením mstitelek - na místo staré mafie však nastupuje nová, počínající si úplně stejně.
