Rich/Solitaire by Graham Masterton

RICH - Rich covers seven explosive, enthralling decades of power and privilege, of passion and pleasure, of pain amidst plenty. In its pages, a masterly bestselling storyteller has created a brilliant, character-filled and compelling believable portrait of what it means to be rich.
SOLITAIRE - Even solitaire as precious as the Natalia Star brings with it a history of greed, tragedy and lust. But the dazzling, flawless stone which Barney Blitz left to the son he never knew represented more that a violet past - it was the symbol of one man's uncontrollable passion for the woman he loved but could never possess.
