A couple of months back every Saturday ABC2 played a movie starring Albury Hepburn. Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline was the last movie played in the series. The movie started off being incredibly suspenseful ( so much so I had to turn away from the television set ) but ending with many questions unanswered. This lead me to want to read the book. I found the book in the Salvos, some strange coincidence, the day I go to the library to get the book is the day I see it for two dollars, sitting on the front counter waiting for me.
The book starts off with a telephone call to Mr Williams in Istanbul apologising for the accidental death of his boss Sam Roffe, head of Roffe and Sons Pharmaceutical company. Rofe and Sons is a family company. With all members of the male members of the Roffe family having a seat on the board. The board voted to sell the company to shareholders but Sam Roffe voted against it. This is where the contention lies because as we soon discover, through a detailed chapter on every character, that every Roffe has financial difficulties of some kind.
In to the kaos steps Elizabeth daughter of Sam Roffe, who is now company director.Soon finding out that her father was murdered she sets about trying to find the culprit. Everyone on the board is a suspect. Elizabeth soon discovers this after a near death experience. But who is it.......
