Das Erbe

by Sidney Sheldon, Gerhard Beckmann (Translator)

A power revered by presidents and kings, a fortune unsurpassed by few people on all that ended for Harry Stanford the day he mysteriously — and fatally — plunged from his luxury yacht into the Mediterranean Sea. Then, back home in Boston, as the family gathers to grieve for his memory and to war over his legacy, a stunningly beautiful young woman appears. She claims to be Stanford's long-lost daughter and entitled to her share of his estate. Now, flaming with intrigue and passion through the glamorous preserves of the world's super rich, the ultimate game of wits begins, for stakes too dazzling and deadly to imagine.

About the author

Sidney Sheldon (1917-2007) was an American writer who won awards in three careers—a Broadway playwright, a Hollywood TV and movie screenwriter, and a best-selling novelist.

His TV works spanned a twenty-year period during which he created I Dream of Jeannie (1965-70), Hart to Hart (1979-84), and The Patty Duke Show (1963-66), but it was not until after he turned 50 and began writing best-selling novels such as Master of the Game (1982), The Other Side of Midnight (1973) and Rage of Angels (1980) that he became most famous.

Reviews

[Mona Unpopular]

Geschichte mit viel Potential, doch leider sind die Figuren so sehr stereotypisiert, dass sie sich anfühlen wie Karikaturen und jede Handlung (und Twist) leider sehr absehbar waren.
Beschreibung: vielversprechend. Ausführung: enttäuschend

[Andrea M]

Spannend.
Mit überraschenden Wendungen.
Hat mich von Pause zu Pause auf der Radtour in Holland begleitet.

[Ayassa]

Spannend geschrieben und am Ende wird einem alles klar!
