Publisher's Summary
From Jennifer Donnelly, the critically acclaimed New York Times best-selling
author of A Northern Light and Revolution, comes a mystery about dark
secrets, dirty truths, and the lengths to which people will go for love
and revenge. For fans of Elizabeth George and Libba Bray, These Shallow
Graves is the story of how much a young woman is willing to risk and
lose in order to find the truth.
Jo Montfort is beautiful and rich, and soon - like all the girls in
her class - she'll graduate from finishing school and be married off
to a wealthy bachelor. Which is the last thing she wants. Jo dreams
of becoming a writer - a newspaper reporter like the trailblazing Nellie
Bly.
Wild aspirations aside, Jo's life seems perfect until tragedy strikes:
Her father is found dead. Charles Montfort shot himself while cleaning
his pistol. One of New York City's wealthiest men, he owned a newspaper
and was a partner in a massive shipping firm, and Jo knows he was far
too smart to clean a loaded gun.
The more Jo hears about her father's death, the more something feels
wrong. Suicide is the only logical explanation, and of course people
have started talking, but Jo's father would never have resorted to that.
And then she meets Eddie - a young, smart, infuriatingly handsome reporter
at her father's newspaper - and it becomes all too clear how much she
stands to lose if she keeps searching for the truth. But now it might
be too late to stop.
The past never stays buried forever. Life is dirtier than Jo Montfort
could ever have imagined, and this time the truth is the dirtiest part
of all.
