His Scandal
Her Secret
From New York Times bestselling author Alafair Burke, a
stunning domestic thriller in the vein of Behind Closed
Doors and The Woman in Cabin 10—in which a woman must
make the impossible choice between defending her husband
and saving herself.
When Angela met Jason Powell while catering a dinner
party in East Hampton, she assumed their romance would be
a short-lived fling, like so many relationships between
locals and summer visitors. To her surprise, Jason, a
brilliant economics professor at NYU, had other plans,
and they married the following summer. For Angela, the
marriage turned out to be a chance to reboot her life.
She and her son were finally able to move out of her
mother’s home to Manhattan, where no one knew about her
tragic past.
Six years later, thanks to a bestselling book and a
growing media career, Jason has become a cultural
lightning rod, placing Angela near the spotlight she
worked so carefully to avoid. When a college intern makes
an accusation against Jason, and another woman, Kerry
Lynch, comes forward with an even more troubling
allegation, their perfect life begins to unravel. Jason
insists he is innocent, and Angela believes him. But when
Kerry disappears, Angela is forced to take a closer look
at the man she married. And when she is asked to defend
Jason in court, she realizes that her loyalty to her
husband could unearth old secrets.
This much-anticipated follow-up to Burke’s Edgar-
nominated The Ex asks how far a wife will go to protect
the man she loves: Will she stand by his side, even if he
drags her down with him?
