Résumé
This debut thriller from award-winning journalist Neal Lipschutz, former deputy editor in chief of the Wall Street Journal, combines a gripping, good old-fashioned murder mystery with the ethical consideration of just how far a person should go to protect their family.In… this debut thriller from award-winning journalist Neal Lipschutz, former deputy editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal, Scott Morgan's carefully crafted life---one he had worked hard to insulate from the sort of tumult he had experienced growing up---is upended when a murder victim is found in his daughter's Manhattan apartment. Scott and his loved ones become prime suspects. Morgan had lifted himself out of his old Brooklyn neighborhood into a successful career as a respected management consultant. A sign of his progress: his current address is an expensive home in the affluent suburb of Scarsdale, New York. When his twenty-eight-year-old daughter brings home a new beau---a fifty-five-year-old one hit wonder of a novelist---Scott suspects the writer is a serial user of people and sets out to expose him. Murder, however, applies a screeching halt to Scott's investigation, as he, his wife, and daughter become suspects. His quest to forestall catastrophe means facing submerged demons from his Brooklyn past and matching wits with a clever and idiosyncratic NYPD detective. Scott's tool kit consists of the take-no-prisoners lessons he's gleaned from an ethics-free approach to business. How far will Scott go to protect everything he's worked for?
