Jack Dana served as a US Marine in various war zones around the world. After an injury, he begins to write, and his very first novel becomes a great success. When he returns from a long trip, he learns that his uncle Harry, who was like a father to him, has taken his own life at his weekend home on Long Island. However, Jack, who knows his uncle better than anyone else, does not believe it was suicide. Did someone want Harry out of the way? But why? And what role does Kerry Black, Harry's beautiful colleague, play in this, whom Jack is increasingly drawn to? Jack becomes more deeply entangled in the machinations of the influential law firm where Harry worked—and soon finds himself in mortal danger. Louis Begley has written an elegant and gripping novel with "Show Yourself, Murderer" that captivates readers from the office towers.
