Sidney Sheldon’s If Tomorrow Comes, is the tale of Tracy Whitney, a computer expert at a bank who is wrongly framed in a criminal case and incarcerated for an offence she did not commit.
Tracy’s make-believe fairy world crumbles with her mother’s suicide. Her botched attempt at bringing to book the perpetrators of her mother’s death, the 15 year jail term imposed by a conniving judge and the desertion by the father of her unborn child, leave Tracy shattered and bitter.
After her release, Tracy wastes no in time in wreaking vengeance on the men responsible for wilting her blooming lily of life. Soon, she takes to a life of crime pulling off one heist after another in different parts of the world with relative flourish. She virtually leaves no evidence as she strips the unscrupulous of their millions, even as the police are left red faced.
The novel is racy, spell binding and addictive, though John Grisham may smirk at the naivety of the crime plots. Yet, the novel arrests your attention from cover to cover as Sheldon the master story teller unveils his spiel of fantasies, leaving you captivated.
