The Eastwood Developmental Center, one of the most successful nonprofit agencies in New Jersey, is about to come unhinged. Betrayal, lies, and envy will become the order of the day until someone finally stops the madness. Poised to become the next president of Eastwood's board of directors, Adam Falk becomes entangled in the machinations of director Duncan Turner. For years, Turner has planned to take over the agency as CEO and executive director. But when another employee gets in his way, Turner will stop at nothing to eliminate the problem. He soon brings the entire nonprofit system under scrutiny and destroys the lives of those who trust him most. As famed private investigator Tom Duffy digs for answers, he becomes obsessed with the case and must contend with painful memories from his past. Trying to protect themselves, politicians and bureaucrats run for cover as the media and families of those involved begin to ask questions. Will Duffy's investigation uncover Turner's diabolical scheme before it's too late?
The author develops the characters and the story in a clever and mesmerizing fashion. I found myself tempted to look ahead in the book but resisted because I did not want to miss a word or lose any of the suspense that was building. Scene sequences are imaginative and descriptive and the author is able to constantly hold the reader's interest because of the depth of the characters. A wonderful book for those who love mystery as well as compassion. I am looking forward to Ms. Gill's next offering.
Anna Gill is a talented new writer.
