Fiction Family Life
A sophisticated page-turner about a wealthy New York family
embroiled in a financial scandal with cataclysmic consequences. Now that he's married to Merrill Darling, daughter of
billionaire financier Carter Darling, attorney Paul Ross has
grown accustomed to New York society and all of its
luxuries: a Park Avenue apartment, weekends in the Hamptons,
bespoke suits. When Paul loses his job, Carter offers him
the chance to head the legal team at his hedge fund.
Thrilled with his good fortune in the midst of the worst
financial downturn since the Great Depression, Paul accepts
the position. But Paul's luck is about to shift: a tragic event catapults
the Darling family into the media spotlight, a regulatory
investigation, and a red-hot scandal with enormous
implications for everyone involved. Suddenly, Paul must
decide where his loyalties lie-will he save himself while
betraying his wife and in-laws or protect the family
business at all costs? Cristina Alger's glittering debut novel interweaves the
narratives of the Darling family, two eager SEC attorneys,
and a team of journalists all racing to uncover-or cover
up-the truth. With echoes of a fictional Too Big to Fail and
the novels of Dominick Dunne, The Darlings offers an
irresistible glimpse into the highest echelons of New York
society-a world seldom seen by outsiders-and a fast-paced
thriller of epic proportions.
