In 2008 the Great Recession hits America and begins to unravel it. An old way of life is dissolving and a new one is forming. In a small town on the East Coast Fall Line, there is an odd murder that must be explained: a dead man whose body below the waist is missing. The heinous murder is committed and more follow as events circle in meaning. A trial ensues and a financial conspiracy, huge in scope, is revealed. A famous defense attorney agrees to take on the Jubilee Trust, a conspiratorial design dating back to the age of Queen Victoria and the British Empire. There is the murderer who is an unreliable narrator, but who dispenses clues for the reader even after her death. The novel reaches a conclusion that is satisfying, although it is troubling in its moral implications as money continues to have its necessary way.
