Suspense
The Emperor of Ocean Park is set in two privileged
worlds: the upper crust African American society of the
Eastern seabord—families who summer at Martha’s Vineyard—and
the inner circle of an Ivy League law school.
Talcott Garland is a successful law professor,
devoted father, and husband of a beautiful and ambitious
woman, whose future desires may threaten the family he holds
so dear. When Talcott’s father, Judge Oliver Garland, a
disgraced former Supreme Court nominee, is found dead under
suspicioius circumstances, Talcott wonders if he may have
been murdered. Guided by the elements of a mysterious puzzle
that his father left, Talcott must risk his marriage, his
career and even his life in his quest for justice. Superbly
written and filled with memorable characters, The Emperor
of Ocean Park is both a stunning literary achievement
and a grand literary entertainment.
