A Fractured Truth

In The House on Sprucewood Lane, Caroline Slate established herself as a distinctive new voice in psychological suspense, a writer who creates "characters so rounded the reader can hear their ragged breathing" (Publishers Weekly). Now, in this highly charged story of love and trust turned inside out, she crafts a tale of passion and intrigue, murder and betrayal -- friendship and love. One moment is all it takes to change the course of a life. An instant in time, and a world is forever altered. For successful young jewelry designer Grace Leshansky that moment came when she shot and killed her charismatic con-man husband, Paul Boudreau. Grace never denied the act, never spoke about the moments just before, when her finger tightened around the trigger -- when Paul ripped her world apart with one more lie. Or was it a truth? Manslaughter: to Grace's ear the slaughter of a man sounded worse than murder. It still does seven years later when she's released from prison -- a woman indelibly changed. She returns to New York City, where she finds everything that mattered to her gone. She fiercely misses her father, George, a charming, hapless gambler with a taste for the company of gangsters. But George Leshansky's dead now, killed to prevent his turning FBI witness -- or perhaps, just perhaps, he is alive. As she searches for a way to live with the past and in the present, Grace confronts more memories than she can bear and a few questions she may no longer be brave enough to ask. Almost immediately, risks begin to surface from every direction: Gabriel McCail, a reporter bent on exposing Paul's treacherous life in an insider biography, threatens to stir up the past; and Michael Pyatt, the beautiful boy who loved and left her at seventeen, is back, possibly with information about her father. Will Grace have the courage to face the answers to her questions, or will her quest for the truth jeopardize her newly won freedom, and the lives of those she holds most dear?

A Fractured Truth

Chapter One

OCTOBER 3, 2002

I'd been charged with murder. The lawyers had pleaded it down to manslaughter. Manslaughter. The slaughter of a man: the bloody sound of it had seemed to me worse than murder, and still does.

They'd pronounced me lucky, my lawyers had: lucky that it had been Paul's gun; lucky I'd put in for the court order of protection against him even if it hadn't had time to come through; lucky that everyone knew about my monumental losses - my father, my business; lucky I had behaved erratically in public. All of this supported the claim that the killing was unpremeditated. After all, I hadn't gone out and bought a gun, but simply been swept away, provoked in my vulnerable state into the impulse to use a weapon ready at hand - Paul's weapon.

Premeditated. Swept away. Provoked. Vulnerable. Impulse: the terms with ... read full excerpt from A Fractured Truth ebook
