When an English oil consultant named Kate Palmer walks into Jack Renoir's San Francisco office, he doesn't realise she is going to turn his carefully-constructed life completely upside down. The survivor of a traumatic, violent childhood, Renoir is a master of self-control - who makes his living discovering other people's secrets while making sure he keeps his own. High-powered Kate soon changes that, and when he falls in love with her, Renoir moves to England. There, Kate's pukka family and affluent friends prove less than welcoming as he and Kate work to create a rural idyll. And, when this adult Eden turns out to be more fragile than expected, Renoir is forced to confront the horrors of his past in order to secure a future with the woman he now loves.

Praise for "Stillriver": "Updikean in its loving use of detail . . . As well as being a poignant reflection on the vicissitudes of love, the insecurities of growing up and the need to discover what is important in life, it manages some genuinely scary thrills."-"Daily Telegraph" "Rosenheim eschews playing the plot simply for thrills, preferring to engage the reader's emotions, but nevertheless comes up with a real page-turner."-"Daily Mail"
From the publishers of Sebastian Faulks and Douglas Kennedy, a new writer with the same storytelling strengths and bestseller potential.
