Book description
Martha's Vineyard, New England. Adam Blaine returns to his childhood
home to bury the father he despised. Here, reunited with his equally
relieved and long-suffering family, he becomes aware of the suspicious
circumstances surrounding his father's death. A death that, Adam will
soon discover, is born of a long-hidden truth, and a chequered family
history that may not be as black and white as he thought. 'A stunning
tale of betrayal and love . . . secrets and scandals . . . thrilling
suspense' Linda Fairstein. Richard North Patterson is the author of
nineteen novels, including eight consecutive international bestsellers.
Formerly a trial lawyer, he was the SEC liaison to the Watergate special
prosecutor, and he has also served on the boards of several Washington
advocacy groups. Richard North Patterson lives in Martha's Vineyard,
Cabo San Lucas and San Francisco with his wife, Dr Nancy Clair.
