message 1: by Betty (new)

Betty I remember it being a thickish hardcover with a red cover
It's not really deep dark crime, but a woman gets framed for something she may or may not have done, and gets sent to a woman's pernentery or something where she gets raped. When she comes out years later to get her revenge, she becomes a master thief or something.

I think she falls in love with her rival.
One scene I remember other then the rape is her going on a cruise and swindling money out of two world famous chess players by playing them both at the same time. She wins by setting it up so she copies the moves of the person she is not playing at the time.

Help!

Michelle (nanlewis) | 263 comments Betty, there's a group called 'What's The Name of That Book???', maybe someone there would have ideas as well.

Don't be impressed. I have a brain filled with totally useless information. It's great at trivia contest time!

Skye | 2105 comments No, I had a feeling, but you were faster than I had anticipated.

That would be me. If there's no point in knowing something, the info is in my head.
