'Revenge is a dish best served cold. But some like it hot. Isabella Albrici's epiphany begins when her mobster husband, Domenic, frames Isabella and her best friend, Teresa Benedetti, for his diamond smuggling operation. Prime targets for the prison's resident psychopath, Isabella and Teresa will be lucky to survive jail, even luckier to survive if they get out - thanks to Domenic, 'the family' thinks Isabella is an FBI informant. The big house ain't no fun house, but for Isabella and Teresa, it's the safest house there is, until the evidence keeping them there suddenly goes missing. Welcome to the Whack Club. Four extraordinary women, one simple goal: to take down the mafia men who betrayed them. What could go wrong? A rollicking tale of friendship, adventure and revenge.' (Publication summary)
