The Ladies of Belgium (Paperback)

Antwerp is a narcissist, who's qualities have made her the deceitful and defiant leader she became. She travels Belgium to recruit similar psychotic masterminds who each have specific qualities, who will help her to infiltrate the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (a phenomenon which occurred in real life), hopefully leaving with $100 000 000 worth of diamonds. The ladies are presented with a situation which is impossible, but that's exactly why they engage. The ladies explore the fragility of trust under pressure - let's just say that the cliché 'You're dead' is not a warning for these ladies, it's a promise. Should they succeed, they have a deceitful plan in place, further establishing their defiance. But why are they so defiant to begin with? What are they trying to prove? How did they become what they are?
