from the author of THE GHOST YARD -
The City of Millhaven is about to be rocked by heartbreak, murder, and scandal. Flush with sex, murder, and betrayal-Christopher Knight's latest novel, The Lady of Shadows, ratchets up the suspense as well as the heartache. Aaron Kline, a man about to propose marriage, stumbling toward a sour rejection-and the unexpected death of his father. Kaley Hudson, the beautiful young woman flirting with miracles and the spark of ambition and teetering along the razor-sharp edge of purpose-leaps away from it all. Steven and Dorothy, locked in the aftermath of a torrid adulterous affair . . . and sucked into mobster payoffs where their lifelong friends, Vincent and Donny, are making a fight for their very lives. And Jane Horne, trapped in a marriage to a wealthy but cold entrepreneur-and the father of her son-entangled in a passionate love affair with the lost love of her life . . .
Here you'll discover humor, charm, nostalgia-alongside gut-wrenching violence, passionate sex, and at times astonishing insight. The Lady of Shadows delves deeply into the heart of meaning and friendship and love. It will break your heart . . . before it mends you.
