'This is a high-profile death with several possible explanations.
Which can be summarized as jumped, fell or pushed.' Adam Blaine
returns to Martha's Vineyard out of duty rather than grief, after
his father - bestselling author and celebrated human rights
activist Benjamin Blaine - falls to his death. Having been
estranged from his father for ten years, Adam is surprised to
discover himself appointed the executor of his estate; especially
as the will disinherits Adam's family, leaving their wealth and
home to Ben's recent lover, young actress Carla Pacelli. Adam's
mission - to undo the will and protect his blood, whether innocent
or guilty, from criminal charges - forces him to confront his own
past, and pulls him into a labyrinth of lies, deception and
betrayal . . .
Two months after the suspicious and much-publicized death of his
father on the island of Martha's Vineyard, it is taking all of Adam
Blaine's character to suture the deep wounds - both within his
family and himself - torn open by the tragedy. Moreover, as the
court inquest into Benjamin Blaine's death continues, it is taking
all of Adam's cunning to protect those closest to him from figures
who still suspect that Adam's father was murdered by one of his
kin. But the sternest test of all is Adam's proximity to Carla
Pacelli - his late father's mistress; and a woman who, despite
being pivotal to his family's plight, Adam finds himself
increasingly drawn to. The closer he gets to this beautiful,
mysterious woman, the further Adam feels from his troubles. Yet the
closer he also comes to revealing the secrets he's strived to
conceal, and condemning the people he's fought so hard to protect.

June, 1968. America is in a state of turbulence, engulfed in civil
unrest and uncertainty. Yet for Whitney Dane - spending the summer
of her twenty-second year on Martha's Vineyard - life could not be
safer, nor the future more certain. Educated at Wheaton, soon to be
married, and the youngest daughter of the patrician Dane family,
Whitney has everything she has ever wanted, and is everything her
all-powerful and doting father, Charles Dane, wants her to be. But
the Vineyard's still waters are disturbed by the appearance of
Benjamin Blaine. An underprivileged, yet fiercely ambitious and
charismatic young man, Blaine is a force of nature neither Whitney
nor her family could have prepared for. As Ben's presence begins to
awaken independence within Whitney, it also brings deep-rooted Dane
tensions to a dangerous head. And soon Whitney's set-in-stone
future becomes far from satisfactory, and her picture-perfect
family far from pretty. A sweeping family drama of dark secrets and
individual awakenings, set during the most consequential summer of
recent American history.
William Lasko is a self-made millionaire with an eye for wealth and
influence, the ear of the president, and a talent for using both to
get what he wants. Now the Economic Crime Commission wants Lasko
brought down, and US Attorney Christopher Paget is tipped to take
on the job.
