Fiction
His name was Rob Castor. Quite possibly,
you've heard of him. He became a minor cult celebrity in his
early twenties for writing a book of darkly pitch-perfect
stories set in a stupid upstate New York town. About a dozen
years later, he murdered his writer-girlfriend and committed
suicide. . . . The deaths of Rob
Castor and his girlfriend begin a wrenching and
enthrallingly suspenseful story that mines the explosive
terrains of love and paternity, marriage and its delicate
intricacies, family secrets and how they fester over time,
and ultimately the true nature of loyalty and trust,
friendship and envy, deception and manipulation. As
the media takes hold of this sensational crime, a series of
unexpected revelations unleashes hidden truths in the lives
of those closest to Rob. At the center of this driving
narrative is Rob's childhood best friend, Nick Framingham,
whose ten-year marriage to his college sweetheart is
faltering. Shocked by Rob's death, Nick begins to reevaluate
his own life and his past, and as he does so, a fault line
opens up beneath him, leading him all the way to the novel's
startling conclusion. In this ambitious and
thrilling novel, award-winning author Eli Gottlieb—with
extraordinarily luxuriant and evocative prose—takes us deep
into the human psyche, where the most profound of secrets
are kept.
