The Family Game

an eccentric, wealthy family. An established custom. or a deadly survival game? In this gripping psychological thriller written by the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water, a woman discovers what it really takes to become one of the 1%.

Harry, her soon-to-be husband, is an aspiring author, and Edward is apparently ideal. In love and freshly engaged, their bliss is interrupted by the reemergence of the Holbecks, Edward's eminent family and the embodiment of American old money. They had been the focus of media attention and social pressure for years, but Edward ignored them all to follow his own way. However, eyes and ears are present everywhere. It was just a question of time before they were drawn back in...

Edward is destined to inherit everything, even though he has long since cut all connections to his family. When Harriet first meets Robert, the unavoidably charismatic head of the family, everything seems to change. She is lured to the glitz and refinement of the Holbecks, who seem to embrace her with open arms. Robert gives Harry a cassette recording at their first encounter, exposing a startling confession that initiates the unavoidable game.

Why did he give her the video, and what about Harry? Something capable of annihilating everything? As she ramps up her quest for the truth, she must endure the Holbecks’ savage Christmas traditions all the while knowing that losing this game could be deadly.
