商品簡介
When the two women closest to him die within a week of one another, John Duckworth, ex-crime reporter and full-time cynic, must come to grips with his own closed-off emotions as well as the weight of his family's past. Part Yankee aristocrat and part "wharf rat" Irishman, he cares for only four things in life: his kind but emotionally fragile sister Faith; her precocious daughter Penelope; his feisty Irish grandmother; and Newport, Rhode Island, his hometown. But New York City is also the setting for Gloria Nagy's novel; and it's a struggle to hold on to the things he loves in a city which disorients - a city of hypocrisy, arrogance and greed - and when a new life beckons for John and Faith on Cape Cod, they jump at the chance, transforming an old ruin into a new hotel - the Inn at the End. They have no idea, however, of the chilling villain awaiting them in Jasmine Jones, a beauty beyond compare who walks into their inn the first week of business and doesn't leave until their lives and loved ones are utterly destroyed.
