Más información sobre el libro

From the award-winning creator of Fargo and bestselling author of Before the Fall comes an intense psychological novel centered on a doctor's suspense-filled quest to understand his twenty-year-old son, a suspected political assassin. Dr. Paul Allen, Chief of Rheumatology at Columbia Presbyterian, specializes in diagnosing patients with conflicting symptoms, often those whom other doctors have given up on. He enjoys a stable life in Westport with his second wife and their twin sons, following a previous marriage that produced his son Daniel. The story opens with a shocking news report revealing that the Democratic presidential candidate has been shot, with Daniel identified as the assassin. Once a good kid and decent student, Daniel's life takes a turn after dropping out of Vassar, embarking on a journey across the U.S. where he sheds his former identity and adopts the name Carter Allen Cash. The narrative alternates between the guilt-ridden father and his introspective son, creating a powerfully emotional page-turner that explores the complexities of parenthood. This absorbing novel examines the responsibilities and limitations of being a parent, alongside the capacity for unconditional love in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
