Zustand: Bueno. : En la primavera de 2001, los suburbios de Connecticut lucen frescos y opulentos. Todos conducen grandes coches, construyen hermosas casas y viven el sueño americano. Pero Drew Hagel ha pasado la última década viendo cómo las cosas se le escapan: su primer matrimonio, su agencia inmobiliaria y su amada hija, Shannon, ahora una distante y misteriosa estudiante de último año de secundaria. Está en peligro de perder su lugar en los afluentes suburbios que una vez gobernó su padre, cuando una inesperada amistad con Quint Manning le abre los ojos a una vasta riqueza. Lo que Drew no sabe es que Manning tiene sus propios problemas: su toque de midas lo está abandonando, su inquieta esposa, Carrie, se está desilusionando con todo el dinero, y su hijo, Jamie, compañero de clase de Shannon, está fuera de control. A medida que las fortunas de tres familias (padres y adolescentes) chocan, un terrible accidente que involucra a Jamie y Shannon le da a Drew la influencia que necesita para permanecer en el juego. Pero, ¿cuáles son las consecuencias de especular con vidas humanas en lugar de con dinero? En esta asombrosa y convincente novela, Stephen Amidon narra el sueño suburbano americano con devastadora precisión.

It's the spring of 2001, the Connecticut suburbs are looking fresh and opulent. Everyone is driving great cars, building beautiful houses, living the American Dream. But Drew Hagel has spent the last decade watching things slip away - his first marriage, his real estate brokerage, and his beloved daughter, Shannon, now a distant and mysterious high school senior.
