Description
Twenty-five years has passed since Jack Monroe's high school girlfriend, Eileen Delaney, vanished after an end-of-summer, lake house party, and a terrible secret has tormented his conscience ever since.
Now a prominent and successful neurosurgeon, dating a beautiful network news anchor, Jack is at the top of his game, and a fixture in New York City society. But the world that he has built for himself is about to come crumbling down.
When he is visited by mafia don, Jimmy Gigante seeking help for his daughter who has a brain tumor, Jack is drawn back into a world he thought he had left behind. Jack had previously dated Connie Gigante prior to meeting Eileen, and had worked at Gigante'e printing company.
Now, on the eve of their twenty-fifth-year high school reunion, a breaking news story reveals that the body of Eileen Delaney has been found submerged in an abandoned rock quarry by a scuba club, along with evidence implicating Jack.
When a corrupt DA indicts Jack for the murder, his life descends into chaos. Suspended from his job, dumped by his girlfriend, and haunted by a dark secret, Jack becomes despondent, contemplating suicide.
As Connie recuperates from her surgery, a rekindled romance with Jack blossoms. Meanwhile, Jack seeks the help of his estranged sister, a prominent DC lawyer, and a few of his old friends to help exonerate him. But as secrets from the past begin to resurface, a powerful cabal of Irish mobsters, corrupt politicians, and a lethal assassin, set out to make sure that those secrets never see the light of day.
Jack and his team are left scrambling for their lives. From Boston cemeteries and prep schools, to New York City's elite establishments, and the timeless Victorian Jersey Shore. Escaping via car, seaplane and sailboat.
But one thing becomes clear. Jack isn't the only one harboring a deadly secret.
This debut novel seamlessly blends action thriller, medical and legal drama, romantic suspense, family tension, a love triangle, organized crime, and a missing woman murder mystery, all in one fast-paced suspense thriller, layered upon a complex web of psychological issues playing out within the characters.
