About this ebook
A Debutante's Dark Past Comes Back to Haunt Alwych in This Gripping Mystery
The "endearing and brilliant" (Publishers Weekly) Gregor Demarkian returns with a case of an unresolved crime and a new, brutal murder, in Jane Haddam's Hearts of Sand.
Alwych, Connecticut, is the stereotypical old money beach town—the best families live in mini-mansions on Beach Drive, their children attend Alwych Country Day School, and the parents hold memberships to the exclusive Atlantic Club. And Chapin Waring is the worst scandal ever to hit this town. Thirty years ago, the well-bred debutante from one of Alwych's richest families was revealed to be a bank robber and a murderer. She vanished without a trace, leaving the town reeling.
But Alwych has never forgotten her, or let her friends and family forget. So when, after being spotted around town, Chapin turns up dead—stabbed to death in her family's old home—the community is shocked. To uncover the truth behind her murder and put an end to the relentless speculation and media frenzy, retired FBI profiler Gregor Demarkian is brought in to finally solve the mysteries surrounding Chapin Waring. Not just how and why she died, but where she'd been and what happened that fateful night thirty years ago that set everything in motion.
