About This Book
Marnie appears to be charming and efficient. A true professional. But inwardly she is unscrupulous, a rebel against society and the law. When she starts working for a small family firm, two of the partners vie for her attentions, and as Mark Rutland, the younger partner, forces his way into Marnie's world he becomes desperate to understand her. Why is she so cynical, so uncaring? Why is she a thief and a liar?
