“A powerful family and a deadly game. Be

of Something in the Water, Mr. Nobody,
and The Disappearing Act
“The Holbecks are what you might come up with if you
took the Roys from Successionand blended them with the Murdochs, the Macbeths, and
the Borgias. . . . Let the fun begin!”—The
New York Times Book Review(Editors’ Choice)
THE RULES 1. Listen carefully 2. Do your
research 3. Trust no one 4. Run for your life
Harriet
Reed, a novelist on the brink of literary stardom, is newly
engaged to Edward Holbeck, the heir of an extremely powerful
family. And even though Edward has long tried to severe ties
with them, news of the couple’s upcoming marital bliss
has the Holbecks inching back into their lives.
As Harriet is drawn into their lavish world, the family
seems perfectly welcoming. So when Edward’s father,
Robert, hands Harriet a tape of a book he’s been
working on, she is desperate to listen.
But as
she presses play, it’s clear that this isn’t
just a novel. It’s a confession.
A
confession to a grisly crime. A murder. And, suddenly, the
game is in motion.
Feeling isolated and confused,
Harriet must work out if this is part of a plan to test her
loyalty or something far darker. What is it that Robert sees
in her? Why give her the power to destroy everything?
This might be a game to the Holbeck family—but
losing could still prove deadly.
