A Seattle Times Best Book of the Year
In Seattle of 1962, Walter Cousins, a mild-mannered actuary takes a risk of his own and makes the biggest error of his life: He sleeps with Diane Burroughs, the sexy, not-quite-legal British au pair who's taking care of his children for the summer. When Diane becomes pregnant and leaves their baby on a doorstep, it sets in motion a tragedy of epic proportions. The orphaned child, adopted by an adoring family and named Edward Aaron King, grows up to become a billionaire Internet tycoon and an international celebrity--the "King of Search"--who unknowingly, but inexorably, hurtles through life toward a fate he may have no way of reversing.

"Brilliant. . . . Transcendently dark and dazzling." --The Seattle Times
"The ranks of dependably original novelists, who create radically new worlds again and again, then delight in tricking them up, are thin, but would certainly include Mitchell, Nicholson Baker, Thomas Pynchon, Jennifer Egan, Colson Whitehead and Jonathan Lethem. . . . This is the club where high concept is born--and with the publication of David Guterson's Ed King it has a surprising new member." --The New York Times "Guterson succeeds in recasting one of literature's most haunted and vaunted tales as a plausible page-turner. . . . Compelling." --USA Today"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
