Inhoudsopgave:
This chilling legal thriller that brings readers into the depths of human memory âhooks you . . . right through to the last pageâ (Michael Connelly, New York Timesâbestselling author of The Black Box).  For generations the Underhill family has dominated Pennsylvania politics. Now, with their youngest son locked in a tight gubernatorial race, a simple accident threatens to derail the entire campaign.  Floss Underhill, the familyâs elderly matriarch, has been discovered alive after falling from a gazebo into a ravine, and Brenna Kennedy gets brought in as a defense attorney for the family. The police donât think her fall was an accidentâand soon neither does Kennedy.  Kennedyâs partner, psychologist and memory expert Jim Christensen, has been studying Floss Underhill for months in a group of Alzheimerâs patients. Her mind ravaged by the disease, her body broken by the fall, Floss Underhill nevertheless knows something, and is trying to tell Christensen a family secret so explosive it could bring down an empire.  But to bring the truth out, Kennedy and Christensen will have to face some powerful enemies in this twisting mystery-thriller from an author who âmay well become a thriller force to be reckoned withâ (James Ellroy, New York Timesâbestselling author of L.A. Confidential). |
