Vor Rehen wird gewarnt

"Deer be warned." This phrase, which he once read in a game park, Attorney Watts can only counter to anyone who speaks of the tender and self-sacrificing Ann Ambros. For as doe-eyed as Ann goes through life, she ruthlessly takes what she wants. She seduces her sister's husband, drives not only San Francisco but Vienna to despair, makes sure that she always gets the best and that people are still grateful when they are allowed to give her the shirt off their backs. Vicki Baum tells of a woman you don't want to get in the way of - and yet whose spell you can't escape until the very last page.
