Publisher's summary
A thriller book set in London and North America during the early 20th century.
"Dark Documents" plunges readers into a world of intrigue and suspense as the return of Morris Thornton, an influential but sickly client, shatters the secret schemes of Cooper Young, a partner at the prestigious law firm of Eversleigh, Young, and Eversleigh. When Young’s web of deceit threatens to be exposed, the lives of everyone around him spiral into chaos.
The story begins with the revelation that Thornton is coming back to London due to his grave illness. Terrified of being discovered, Young confesses to his partner, Francis Eversleigh, that he has gambled away their clients' money posing as a savvy stock trader. This harrowing truth sends Eversleigh into a state of despair and mental decline. Just when things couldn't get worse, Young's secret identity as "James Russell" and his accumulated fortune from embezzlement are on the verge of being discovered.
As Thornton’s condition deteriorates, Young’s scheme starts to crumble. Thornton's confrontation with Young ends fatally for Thornton, giving Young a slim window to flee. Meanwhile, Eversleigh’s son, Joel, entangled with Morris's daughter Kitty, becomes central in the quest for justice. Joel’s journey traverses continents as he tracks down Young, determined to restore his family’s honor. The relentless pursuit leads to a dramatic showdown after a catastrophic train accident critically injures Young, who, in a dying declaration, unveils the location of the embezzled funds.
Returning to London with the recovered assets, Joel faces personal and professional obstacles. He overcomes the shadow of his father’s decline and reestablishes the firm's integrity by renaming it under his own leadership. Amidst this turmoil, Joel and Kitty's affection for each other blooms untainted by past treachery. "Dark Documents" deftly explores themes of integrity, deception, and the strength of familial and romantic bonds, weaving a tale rich with suspense and moral quandaries.

- Intricately woven plot with unexpected twists and turns
- Rich historical details that bring the early 1900s to life
- Powerful exploration of dual identities and their consequences

Delve into a gripping mystery where the sophisticated facades of early 20th century London crumble to reveal secrets, deceptions, and the unyielding quest for justice. Follow Joel Eversleigh's relentless pursuit across continents that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final revelation. "Dark Documents" isn't just a novel; it's an immersive journey into a world where the past's shadows threaten to consume the present.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years.
