To Catch the Summer Wind

Résumé du livre

It seems to Columbia grad student Chase Evans that virtually everything about Olivia Renway is shrouded in secrecy -- her work, her life, even her death. And that every one of those secrets contains a story yet untold. But Chase can't tell whether they're all an illusion to keep a public figure's life private, or a series of clues to the truth about the famous novelist. This much she does know: Renway's last few books had moved from the familiar World War II settings to plots revolving around terrorism and chemical warfare in Asia. That makes Chase wonder: Had her fiction become too factual? Especially her last manuscript, which mysteriously disappeared on the day she died? And Renway's death... that's a story in itself. In Chase's mind there's no way it was an "accident." There was a witness, yet no one has ever been charged with a crime. Someone knows the whole story, but they aren't telling. Someone wanted Olivia Renway dead. But who? With the help of Renway's grandson, ex-CIA agent Drew Gregory, and a cagey, elderly woman, Chase travels from the halls of Oxford to a mysterious steel factory west of Prague, hoping to find the answers to Renway's fate -- and the fate of her final novel.
