Synopsis

From the publishers of Sebastian Faulks and Douglas Kennedy, a new writer with the same storytelling strengths and bestseller potential.

It was his hideout, but now he did not feel safe at all.

The birds had suddenly gone quiet, and the boy was certain the man was in the woods below him. And then a voice fractured the unnatural hush. â I know youâ re in there.â

A young boy is hiding for his life, having witnessed a brutal murder. He knows that even if he survives, his days on his uncleâ s California apple farm are gone forever.

Thirty years later, Jack Renoir makes his living discovering other peopleâ s secrets, while making sure he keeps his own. But when Kate Palmer, an English oil consultant, walks into Jackâ s San Francisco office, his carefully constructed life is turned upside down. As his defenses dissolve, he agrees to try a new life with her in England. But the reappearance of Kateâ s old boyfriend disturbs his newfound happiness, as does Kateâ s apparent involvement in a high-tech trading scam. Old habits die hard, and Renoir is drawn into a murky world he thought he had left behind for good.

Highly suspenseful, Andrew Rosenheimâ s new novel is a complex love story in which two secret worlds collide.

Review

Praise for Stillriver:

“Updikean in its loving use of detail . . . As well as being a poignant reflection on the vicissitudes of love, the insecurities of growing up and the need to discover what is important in life, it manages some genuinely scary thrills.”
–Daily Telegraph

"Rosenheim eschews playing the plot simply for thrills, preferring to engage the reader’s emotions, but nevertheless comes up with a real page-turner.”
–Daily Mail
