'A BRILLIANT THRILLER'

DAILY MAIL

Can you ever really know your father?

Judge Oliver Garland almost became a Supreme Court judge, but in a scene of scandalous humiliation had to withdraw his nomination. Now he's dead, and raises even more dangerous questions than he did when alive.

He has left a strange message for his son Talcott, a professor at an elite Ivy League law school, entrusting him with 'the arrangements' - a mysterious puzzle that only Tal can unlock, and only by unearthing the ambiguities of his father's turbulent past. When another man is found dead, and then another, Talcott must risk life, marriage and reputation, following the clues his father left him.
