Fiction
An impossible quest. An epic love story. A mesmerizing debut. In 1924, the English mountaineer Ashley Walsingham dies
attempting to summit Mount Everest, leaving his fortune to
his long-lost lover, Imogen Soames-Andersson—whom he has not
seen in seven years. Ashley’s attorneys search in vain for
Imogen, but the estate remains unclaimed. Nearly eighty years later, new information leads the same
law firm to Tristan Campbell, a young American who could be
the estate’s rightful heir. If Tristan can prove he is
Imogen’s descendant, the inheritance will be his. But with
only weeks before Ashley’s trust expires, Tristan must hurry
to find the evidence he needs. From London WWI archives to the battlefields in France to
the fjords of Iceland, Tristan races to piece together the
story behind the unclaimed riches: a reckless love affair
pursued only days before Ashley’s deployment to the Western
Front of the Great War; a desperate trench battle fought by
soldiers whose hope is survival rather than victory; an
expedition to the uncharted heights of the world’s tallest
mountain. Following a trail of evidence that stretches to
the far edge of Europe, Tristan becomes consumed by Ashley
and Imogen’s story. But as he draws close to the truth,
Tristan realizes he may be seeking something more than an
unclaimed fortune. The Steady Running of the Hour announces the arrival of a
stunningly talented author. Justin Go’s “debut is ambitious
in many ways…it depicts a love that transcends time and
disdains convention; and it fluidly moves between past and
present” (Publishers Weekly).
