Publisher's Synopsis
Rich, handsome, and well-bred, Edward Rollins would seem to have everything going for him-except that he feels excruciating disconnection from virtually everyone around him. In his desperation for intimacy, he becomes a voyeur, surreptitiously following the cars of strangers, searching for the subtle, revealing details of their lives. Then one night a seemingly random encounter brings him straight into the heart of a decade-old murder. Forced to turn for help to a woman he barely knows, he risks everything to embark on a quest for personal liberation: to unlock the chilling, long-held secrets of his family's past. In one of the articles John Sedgwick is writing to coincide with the book's publication, he will assume the character of Edward Rollins, following unsuspecting motorists and recording the details of their lives. A selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, John Sedgwick is part of the storied Sedgwick clan of Massachusetts, whose eclectic members have included an early Speaker of the House, Andy Warhol protegie Edie Sedgwick, and actress Kyra Sedg\vick. A regular contributor to GQ, Atlantic Monthly, Worth, and other magazines, he lives in Newton, MA.
