From the bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars, a dazzling,
darkly funny, compulsively readable retelling of Sophocles's
Oedipus Rex that takes us from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair to the
twenty-first century headquarters of an Internet search giant.
'Superbly organised and sophisticated ... Excellently entertaining'
Sunday Times 'A great story and a riveting read' Daily Mail In
1962, when Walter Cousins sleeps with his British au pair, Diane
Burroughs, he can have no sense of the magnitude of his error: this
brief affair sets in motion a tragedy of epic proportions, upending
Sophocles's immortal tale of fate, free will, and forbidden desire.
At the centre is Ed King, an infant given up for adoption who
becomes one of the world's most powerful men. But beneath the
gripping story of Ed's seemingly inexorable rise to fame and
fortune is a dark and unsettling destiny, one that approaches with
ever-increasing suspense as the novel reaches its shattering
conclusion.
