Love and hate, generosity and greed, cruelty and kindness, elegance and vulgarity, truth and lie, life and death are as many contrasts that come up in the events and experiences of the characters lives unfolding in Los Angeles. A thrilling action, with unexpected turns of events that keep the reader s interest in suspense, completed by an atmosphere full of romance and drama, at the same time with a skilful insight in the souls marked by the strongest human feelings. False identity pleads in favour of the idea that true love conquers all and can surpass every obstacle, even death.
