Through the centuries, beauty has always brought out the best and worst in men who pursued it. Like Cleopatra, over three thousand years ago, a war is going to be fought for the love of a woman. Dan Price has once again created a story surrounded by mystery and suspense as Malcolm and Arnie try to unravel a web of conspiracy, that like Cleopatra, seems to only bring death and destruction to those around it.
