This novel depicts, with both humor and dramatic impact, the mid-life crisis of a woman who sees wealth and the good life all around her and wonders why she and her family have been left out.

Cassandra Janes vows to even the score, to become, as she says, "a rich bitch" herself, no matter by what means. That her husband, Galen Janes, does not share her feelings and deplores her methods saddens but does not deter her from following her criminal destiny.

Readers will both admire and reject this remarkable woman, and the pair of attorneys who get caught up in her adventures.
