The book opens with the assassination attempt of Steve Alden, a smart, successful and driven man. Haunted by the memories of a bleak childhood, Steve transforms his fear of never having enough into always getting what he wants: the beautiful wife, the big estate, the cutting-edge business.
The last thing to cross off his list is entrance into the most exclusive club in town, the kind he saw pictures of in magazines at the doctors office when he was young. As Steve finally hobnobs with the best of societies best, he feels like it's still not enough and what starts as the need to sit at the best table in the house ends in depravity, jealousy and rage.
But who felt enough rage to actually want to kill him?
Through the eyes of Steve's wife, Barbara, we learn about the ladies at the ultra posh Upper Brookville Country Club; where they shopped, what they wore, their secrets, and where they sat at the clubs formal dinner dances was very important. We also learn about the journey that it takes to become a part of this Club.

Liz (Taffet) Feinman was a retired Director of Development at an event driven nonprofit organization on Long Island. In that capacity she worked with 10 different golf club chairmen, 10 different golf pros, 10 different managers, and organized 10 successful golf tournaments; raising considerable funds for her organization.
Her technical knowledge of the game from long lovely days, playing on the many courses on Long Island and Myrtle Beach and watching the LPGA tournaments in Westchester helped facilitate the creation of this novel.
She wrote the right club in 1998, but didn't have time to work on it. She put the manuscript away to focus on her career and family. After her husband passed away, she moved to California and during the COVID-19 quarantine she came across the thumb drive with the first version of the novel. Since then she has reworked it several times and has finally decided that it was ready for publication.
