Sobre este audiolivro
A wealthy, childless magnifico feigns a terminal illness to extract extravagant gifts from a flock of greedy legacy-hunters. He delights in playing his sycophantic victims against each other, watching them sacrifice their morals, their wealth, and even their families for a chance at his fortune. But his insatiable appetite for the game soon leads him to take risks that threaten to expose his massive fraud. This dark, cynical comedy is a masterful exploration of avarice and moral decay. The twisted climax delivers a stunning and unforgettable poetic justice.
