Fiction
Mary McGarry Morris has been hailed as “one of the most
skillful writers at work in America today” (Michiko
Kakutani, New York Times). In The Last Secret, she tells the
riveting story of Nora Hammond, a woman blessed with the
perfect life: a charming husband, two bright teenage
children, a successful career in the family’s newspaper
business, and an esteemed role in the charity work of her
New England town. But Nora’s comfortable existence threatens
to unravel when she learns of her husband’s longtime
affair–and when the specter of a sordid incident from her
youth returns with terrifying force. Confronted by shame and betrayal, Nora suddenly feels
dangerously alone. With no one to turn to, she becomes easy
prey to a ghost from her past–the cunning, relentless Eddie
Hawkins. A tautly told tale of psychological tension and chilling
moral complexity, The Last Secret accelerates to a
shattering conclusion as it explores the irreparable
consequences of one family’s crimes of the heart. The Last
Secret burnishes Mary McGarry Morris’s reputation as one of
our most prodigously gifted writers.
