Fresh from the overwhelming success of "The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair," Marcus Goldman struggles to write his third novel. A chance encounter in Florida inspires him from an unexpected source: Alexandra Neville, the beautiful and phenomenally successful singer who is also Marcus's first love. Memories of his childhood flood back, including a family torn apart by tragedies and a once-glorious legacy that has fallen into disgrace and ruin. The Baltimore Boys. The Goldman Gang. That's what they called Marcus and his cousins Hillel and Woody. Three brilliant young men with their whole lives ahead of them, before their kingdom crumbled under the weight of lies, jealousy, and betrayal. For years, Marcus has battled the burden of his past, but now he must try to exorcise his demons and tell the true story of the Baltimore Boys.
