A Tragedy of Coincidence

This story begins with a visit from an old friend of her husband. His appearance, while welcome, is not coincidental. A good deed is uncovered and goes viral which brings more unwanted visitations. A retired private investigator has enlisted the help of a local reporter and penned an unauthorized biography of the reclusive billionaire with a murderous past.
Raffe has come to visit Marley Cornish, forty years after her husband and his friend lost contact with each other. His visit is both welcome and amiable but she fears it will not be the last.
She was correct in that assumption. More visitors wish an audience. Ardele Comstock, a retired private investigator who has not resolved one specific assignment finds new information about his only cold case. He enlists the help of a local reporter, Sebastion Vale, to help assemble the story based on what both men know about the reclusive billionaire with a murderous past.
This novel is told from the POV of Sarason’s wife, Marley and she is not pleased by the knowledge her visitors impart. And yet, she is torn by her own secret and the secrets these two men have threatened to publish in an unauthorized biography of her husband.
While she did not know about the missing year, and has chastised herself for her incurious nature when it comes to that time period, she doesn’t deny that what they reveal is possible. She also knows that the story is probably true.
Now she is faced with a difficult decision: should she allow the book to be published or use her vast wealth and power to squash the truth? To her, it is an unavoidable tragedy of coincidence.
