Description
A rural New England town elects its first millionaire mayor in this urgent and inspired novel for our times. Mark Firth, a struggling home builder, feels opportunity slipping away from him and his family after being swindled by a financial advisor. When wealthy money manager Philip Hadi moves to the area, he hires Mark to turn his house into a secure location, setting off a collision of two very different worlds. As Hadi runs for office and begins subtly transforming the town in his image, unexpected results emerge for Mark and his extended family. This powerful new novel captures a fraught American moment in real-time, while also depicting timeless aspects of small-town life.
