The Emperor of Ocean Park
Description
When a disgraced former Supreme Court nominee dies under suspicious circumstances, his son, Talcott Garland, is drawn into a dangerous search for the truth. A respected law professor, devoted husband, and father, Talcott must decipher the clues his father left behind while navigating the pressures of an elite African American family, an Ivy League law school, and the privileged world of Martha’s Vineyard. As the investigation deepens, long-buried secrets threaten his career, marriage, and safety. Blending legal suspense with an incisive portrait of class, race, family loyalty, and ambition, this richly layered debut is both a gripping mystery and an expansive family saga.
