Reseña del editor:

Declaring twenty years long enough to stay married to the same women, Roger Gainey decides to walk out on his wife, Sheila, his partner in an electronic retailing empire. She had been a college student whey they met; he had been a TV game show host. Roger's involvement with infomercials began almost accidentally, but he soon realized the potential inherent in combining entertainment and a sales pitch into a seamless whole. Together, Roger and Sheila created one of the most successful of the infomercials and ultimately came to own a prosperous home-shopping network, PCE-TV: Privacy, Comfort, Entertainment.
They have been a great team for so long that when Roger calmly tells Sheila he wants out of the marriage, their friends and business associates are stunned. But no one could anticipate Sheila's astonishment and, eventually, her fury. Devastated at first, Sheila blames herself, and remains hopeful that Roger will come back. When Derek Lang, their chief home-shopping competitor, approaches Sheila and suggests she join him in getting back at Roger, she rejects the idea immediately. It is only later - after she realizes that she must make a new life for herself, after she realizes that Roger is never coming back, after the divorce is final - that she wakes up to the anger that has been building in her. It is only then that Sheila decides to take Derek up on his offer to join him in the boardroom and the bedroom. So when Derek is found murdered, the police naturally zero in on Roger. But, as they soon discover, there is a wealth of suspects.
