The House on Ember Row Format: Cloth Over Boards

“Riveting from start to finish.” ?RILEY SAGER, New York Times best-selling author of With a Vengeance

Some truths are worth killing for. Others are worth dying to reveal.

Investigative journalist Quinn Whitaker accepts an invitation to the glittering estate of the enigmatic magnate Laurence Ellison and is drawn into a world where power is theater. But when a celebrated developer vanishes under suspicious circumstances, Quinn’s pursuit of the truth begins to expose the fault lines in Ellison’s empire.

From sun-soaked yacht decks to City Hall corridors, from whispered deals to the walls that hide them all, The House on Ember Row is a taut, atmospheric descent into corruption and illusion, where every secret carries a cost and the man who built paradise may be the one destined to destroy it.
