Thriller
By appearances Peter Scattergood leads a privileged life: a
post as Assistant District Attorney, a loving wife, and a
townhouse in Philadelphia's exclusive Society Hill. Assigned
to an explosive homicide case--the murder of the mayor's
nephew and the young man's beautiful mistress--the power and
prestige he's always craved seem within his
grasp.
But soon Peter's illusion of success shatters.
His wife walks out on their seven-year marriage and
vanishes. The double-murder case casts a shadow of doubt on
his most trusted peers. And, in a moment of weakness, Peter
enters into an affair with a woman whose greatest skill is
arousing suspicion.
Now, Peter Scattergood is about
to discover the desperate lengths he will go to uncover the
terrible truth that lies with deadly patience somewhere
between the mystery of his wife's disappearance and the
dangerous secret at the heart of a shocking crime.
