About the Book: Seven years after a devastating incident at Ben Fitzmaurice’s 40th birthday party tore their friendship apart, Martin receives a surprise invitation back into the dazzling Fitzmaurice family’s inner circle—a chance for the revenge he craves. Ben has since risen to be touted as the next Prime Minister, but Martin immediately notices the cracks: Ben’s wife, Serena, is stifled by her gilded cage; their daughter, Cosima, is an activist fighting her parents’ legacy; and the disgraced MP Richard Take is planning his political comeback. The situation is further complicated by the untimely death of the family black sheep, Fliss, which sparks more suspicion than closure. As the nation watches, these intertwined stories reveal a family—and a country—unraveling under the weight of its secrets, setting the stage for a reckoning between Martin and Ben about the true cost of love, power, and loyalty.
