Suspense
Dark, witty, and suspenseful, this literary crime thriller
reminiscent of The Dinner and The Silent Wife follows a
famous author whose wife—the brains behind his success—meets
an untimely death, leaving him to deal with the consequences. “Evil is a matter of opinion…” On the surface, Henry Hayden seems like someone you could
like, or even admire. A famous bestselling author who
appears a modest everyman. A loving, devoted husband even
though he could have any woman he desires. A generous friend
and coworker. But Henry Hayden is a construction, a mask.
His past is a secret, his methods more so. No one besides
him and his wife know that she is the actual writer of the
novels that made him famous. For most of Henry’s life, it hasn’t been a problem. But when
his hidden-in-plain-sight mistress becomes pregnant and his
carefully constructed facade is about to crumble, he tries
to find a permanent solution, only to make a terrible mistake. Now not only are the police after Henry, but his past—which
he has painstakingly kept hidden—threatens to catch up with
him as well. Henry is an ingenious man and he works out an
ingenious plan. He weaves lies, truths, and half-truths into
a story that might help him survive. But bit by bit the
noose still tightens. Smart, sardonic, and compulsively readable, here is the
story of a man whose cunning allows him to evade the
consequences of his every action, even when he’s standing on
the edge of the abyss.
