Ophelia: Drowning in Huilt
About this eBook
ACCIDENTAL DEATH OR PERFECTLY PLOTTED MURDER?
Tal Neilson is slowly losing his mind. He’s convinced his dead father Geri has been murdered, but no one believes him. Geri’s voice in his head is screaming for revenge. Is the voice real or a product of Tal’s addiction? Can Tal ignore his widowed mother’s attraction to Geri’s business partner?
At stake: Tal’s legacy, a billion-dollar drug empire that Geri built and that his murderer is trying to steal.
The only person Tal can trust is his lover Ophelia, except she harbors a secret tied to family obsession scaling three generations. Born to serve and protect Tal. Trained to kill.
Sixty years connect two families from Nazi-occupied Denmark to modern Manhattan in an epic of love, deception, and sacrifice. You won't be able to put it down.
Second in the Shakespeare Modern Mysteries.
