Thriller Psychological
Beware the Man of the Year. You may praise him, resent
him, even want to be him: but beneath the elegant
trappings that define him, danger looms. Caroline Louise
Walker's stunning debut novel, for fans of Herman Koch's
The Dinner and Shari Lapena's The Couple Next
Door, delves into the increasingly paranoid mind of a
man whose life as the most upstanding of citizens hides a
relentlessly dark heart.
Dr. Robert Hart, Sag
Harbor's just-named Man of the Year, is the envy of his
friends and neighbors. His medical practice is thriving. He
has a beautiful old house and a beautiful new wife and a
beautiful boat docked in the village marina. Even his
wayward son, Jonah, is back on track, doing well at school,
finally worthy of his father's attentions. So when Jonah's
troubled college roommate, Nick, needs a place to stay for
the summer, Hart and his wife generously offer him their
guest house. A win-win: Jonah will have someone to hang
with, and his father can bask in the warm glow of his own
generosity.
But when he begins to notice his new
houseguest getting a little too close to his wife, the good
doctor's veneer begins to crack. All the little lies Robert
tells—harmless falsehoods meant to protect everything he
holds dear—begin to mount. Before long, he's embroiled in a
desperate downward spiral, destroying the lives that stand
in his way. It's only the women in his life—his devoted
office manager, his friends, his wife—who can clearly see
the truth.
Biting and timely, Man of the Year
races along at an electric pace, with a wicked twist that
you won't see coming.
