About this ebook
A darkly funny, razor sharp plunge into America’s most perfect town, where privilege, sex, scandal, and murder lurk beneath a flawless veneer, from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Frey.
Behind every great fortune, lies a great crime.
- Honoré de Balzac
New Bethlehem, Connecticut. Picture-perfect lawns, manicured hedges, multi-million dollar homes. But beneath the designer yoga gear and country club memberships lies a darker reality.
In this world of excess, Devon and Belle have it all—beauty, money, status. But they want something more. Something dangerous. Something that makes them feel alive. Their solution? A party—a meticulously curated gathering of New Bethlehem’s elite, from a desperate ex-NFL quarterback to a hockey coach with a penchant for married women, and a ruthless Wall Street “closer” who wields his wealth like a weapon.
One night. Multiple betrayals. And a murder that will shatter New Bethlehem’s carefully constructed facade.
Fans of "The White Lotus" and "Big Little Lies" will be drawn into the dark underbelly of the American Dream – a world where money can buy anything, until it ruins everything.
