Description

Featuring a brand new introduction from lifelong fan and Closer magazine Book Reviewer, Amy Rowland, talking about what Jackie and her books mean to her!

I read hundreds of books every year. But Jackie Collins novels are the only ones I can read over and over AMY ROWLAND

Theyre the children of Hollywood royalty, screen icons, sex symbols and big industry powerhouses. Theyve grown up in the shadows of their parents and now their own stars are on the rise.

Theyre beautiful. Theyre rich. Theyre famous. And a serial killer is stalking their every step.

There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins. With millions of her books sold around the world, and thirty-oneNew York Timesbestsellers, she is one of the worlds top-selling novelists. From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts to the yachts of billionaires, Jackie chronicled the scandalous lives of the rich, famous, and infamous from the inside looking out.
