Zaffarano, the superagent cousin** with enough ***mob connections*** to topple the family empire, she was his ticket to the top and a necessary ally... **Spanning the sixties to the eighties**, moving from migrant workers' shacks in the San Joaquin Valley to palatial Beverly Hills estates, from a remote film location in Kenya to a luxurious villa overlooking Lake Como in Italy - **here is a sweeping novel about five members of a legendary family and their effect n the eternally vulnerable woman who was known as the last movie star.**
