In 1962, when Walter Cousins sleeps with his British au pair, Diane Burroughs, he can have no sense of the magnitude of his error: this brief affair sets in motion a tragedy of epic proportions, upending Sophocles''s immortal tale of fate, free will, and forbidden desire.
At the centre is Ed King, an infant given up for adoption who becomes one of the world''s most powerful men. But beneath the gripping story of Ed''s seemingly inexorable rise to fame and fortune is a dark and unsettling destiny, one that approaches with ever-increasing suspense as the novel reaches its shattering conclusion.
