About this title

Synopsis

The Gravity of Shadows . . .

To save his business, art dealer Wil Sumner returns to Palm Beach--the monied world in whose shadow he'd enviously spent his childhood. Now, though, he would be inside its gilded gates, appraising the private collection of a mysterious, ailing recluse. Yet beneath the fabulous wealth lies a darkness Wil never suspects, until he witnesses the murder of his client's wife--and is dragged into a vendetta that began a century ago.

That Pull at a Man's Soul

Caught in a vortex of evil beyond his understanding, Wil becomes entangled in the fears of a dying man and in the awesome power of a politician who will do anything to keep secrets buried. Desperate to find answers, Wil plunges into an underworld of greed, murder, and seduction that can destroy these two warring enemies--and finish Wil, too.
