Circle of Deceit is a 1998 ABC-TV movie starring Janine Turner, Esai Morales and Joanna Cassidy.

Plot

Having walked out on her cheating husband Jeff (Morales), Terry Silva (Turner) moves in with her best friend Donna Avedon (Tracy Griffith). This set-up proves most untenable when Terry finds out that Donna is Jeff's longtime mistress. Vowing to get revenge on both Jeff and Donna, Terry fakes her own death — intending to frame her husband and her faithless friend for murder.

Yet another variation on the old Diabolique formula, the made-for-TV Circle of Deceit was clearly conceived to showcase the flexibility of Northern Exposure star Turner, who was also one of the movie's producers.
