MAXIMUM GAIN. Melissa Reed wins over eight million pounds on the lottery and, as to be expected, her world changed overnight. She is able to buy everything she ever wanted except peace of mind, and to share her good fortune with the one person who matters, her best friend Jean. Her husband Steven, her children and friends are ready to accept she might be losing her mind. Has all this sudden money been too much for the middle-aged woman? Should they insist she sees a therapist? Perhaps she should make Steven executor of all that money before she gives it away to her new sinister acquaintance Maurice Winter. For it is this man who is compounding her belief that her dying friend Jean has been abducted by aliens and will be returned, well again, on the day of the lunar eclipse. What is this strange hold Winter and his assistant Eloise have over Melissa Reed, and how far is Melissa's brutal husband prepared to go to get his hands on all her money? But it is Steven Reed who is found dead only minutes away from their luxury home. Was it really an accidental overdose of drink and sleeping pills --- or murder? When her son Lloyd is tragically killed in a car accident the police soon discover there is far more to these deaths than simple greed. Newly married and with her job as a reporter on the local rag, the Thornhill Advertiser, having been drastically down sized by the new owners of the paper, Sophie decides to do a freelance piece about the lottery winner. Even Sophie cannot imagine the greed, manipulation and ultimately danger, she will encounter..
