Keeping Secrets
Andrew Rosenheim
Thirty years ago, Jack Renoir’s idyllic childhood on his uncle’s California apple farm was shattered when he witnessed a brutal murder. With a single shot, his life changed forever.
Three decades later, Renoir is a man preoccupied with secrets and lies – a man who’s forgotten how to trust. But when Kate Palmer walks into his San Francisco office, his carefully-controlled world is turned upside down. As his defences dissolve, Renoir moves to England with Kate to make a new start. But old habits die hard, and he is soon drawn into a murky world he hoped he had left behind for good. When his efforts to help Kate backfire, Renoir finds his unresolved past threatening to destroy his future . . .
