IT WAS A GAME OF HAPPY FAMILIES
The four children had such perfect lives in such a happy, golden family.
IT WAS A GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK
Their father died suddenly. The children now lived alone, hidden in the airless attic.
IT WAS A CASE OF TENDER, LOVING MURDER
Their mother promised they would stay only long enough for her to inherit the fortune. But gradually she forgot how much she adored those children.
THE COMPELLING STORY OF A FAMILY'S BETRAYAL AND HEARTBREAK, LOVE AND REVENGE
