A suspicious death exposes a wealthy community's secrets

Law student Jack Mullen returns to East Hampton after his younger brother Peter is found dead on the beach. The police call it an accident, but Jack cannot accept that a strong swimmer would have entered the stormy sea that night. His efforts to discover what happened meet resistance from a powerful establishment determined to protect its own. Lawyers, police and wealthy summer residents seem to stand between him and the truth, while unexpected evidence suggests Peter's life was more complicated than his family knew. James Patterson and Peter de Jonge turn a brother's search for answers into a confrontation with privilege, intimidation and concealed wrongdoing in a community where money appears able to buy silence.
