About the book
"Don't lose your temper," her mother warned Andrea when she set out to tell top TV interviewer, Maxwell Lane, just what she thought of him. Andrea was sure his ruthless interview with her beloved uncle had contributed to his death.
"Of course, I won't," Andrea replied firmly. "I'm going to be cool, calm and demolishing!"
So much for good intentions. Somehow Andrea found herself working for Maxwell Lane as a research assistant and her chances of getting even with him seemed more remote than ever!
