From a New York Times-bestselling author: A young woman's search for
her biological parents uncovers a secret history of murder and
conspiracy.
When her adoptive parents die in a train crash in Italy, writer Courtney
Marsh becomes more determined than ever to find her roots. She was
mysteriously abandoned when she was just an infant, and she never knew
the truth about her biological parents. The only clues to her past are a
golden unicorn pendant she's had all her life and a tattered newspaper
clipping about an artist who hailed from one of the most prominent yet
reclusive East Hampton families.
Now, under the guise of a reporter, Courtney has arrived at the Rhodes's
mansion on the dunes. She may be uncertain of her heritage, but she's as
sure as the bracing ocean winds that this family is hiding something.
Only the handsome son-in-law of the Rhodes clan, whose marriage is on
the rocks, is particularly forthcoming--especially as he grows more
intimately fond of the lovely and inquisitive young guest. But the more
Courtney discovers, the more she has to fear--because hers is a legacy
of murder that has yet to play its final hand.
The Golden Unicorn is a novel of buried family secrets in the New York
art world from "a superb and gifted storyteller" (Mary Higgins Clark).
