A suspenseful, winding tale of lies, deceit, and betrayal…
A woman confronts the complexities of her past and present circumstances in Penrose’s twisty debut. Blake O’Brien, a young and alluring executive with a jet-setting career, returns to her birthplace of Manhattan after fleeing from what she thought was a doomed marriage to a charming but sinister man. However, the fresh start she sought is quickly shattered when she discovers she has been poisoned with a deadly neurotoxin, and her only hope for survival is an antidote made with Prussian blue. Penrose deftly balances moments of tension and suspense with introspective scenes, uncovering Blake’s inner turmoil. As secrets are revealed about Milt’s enigmatic past, the urgency of Blake’s pursuit intensifies, especially as she delves into the cryptic world of the Blue Prussian and the mysteries surrounding Vassar College. Strategic confrontations brimming with action ratchet up the stakes, enhancing the already palpable sense of suspense while the diverse settings of New York, San Francisco, and London provide a rich backdrop for the unfolding story. Throughout, the novel touches upon themes of trust, resilience, and self-discovery. A page-turner.
