Spindrift

New York Times bestseller: A New Year's Eve suicide in a Newport mansion could be hiding a sinister family conspiracy.

Was it fear of scandal, threat of disgrace, or loss of his job that drove Rhode Island newspaper magnate Adam Keene to take his own life? His daughter, Christy, refuses to accept her father's death as a suicide. When she returns to her mother-in-law Theodora's stately Newport mansion, Christy is determined to find out who killed her father—and why.

But once behind the walls of Spindrift, Christy finds that the sprawling estate is more than just a tomb of tragic memories and closely guarded secrets. Christy's husband and son are slowly falling under the influence of the ruthless and domineering Theo. For Christy, the matriarch's endgame is as unknowable as it is terrifying. Now, as Christy searches for the truth of the past in the dark shadows of Spindrift, she will become trapped in a web of lies only another murder could conceal.

A recipient of the Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement, Phyllis A. Whitney is the Edgar Award–winning "queen of the American gothics" (The New York Times).

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author's estate.
