Behind a veil of betrayal and murder, a family's truth is unearthed. January 1928. Of all times to travel to upstate New York, Alice Cary thought grimly as she hurried into Grand Central Station, it had to be in the teeth of a blizzard. Alice-a stylish young librarian with a sharp mind and a troubled heart-is bound for the state library conference. On the train, she meets Janet Faraday, who confesses a chilling secret: she killed her son's father six years ago... and got away with it. Alice's own marriage is crumbling. Her husband, Adam, is moody, unfaithful, and increasingly cruel. Divorce has crossed her mind-but murder? During a family visit, Adam dies under mysterious circumstances. A suicide note is found. The police are eager to close the case. So is Adam's mother, Helen, the formidable matriarch of the Cary family. But Alice isn't convinced. She turns to private detective Sloan Sheppard. As the investigation deepens, a string of shocking deaths ripples through Albany's snowbound elite. Each revelation strips away another layer of the Cary family's carefully guarded past. Set against the icy elegance of 1920s Albany, New York, The Late Mr. Cary is a taut, atmospheric tale of betrayal, buried truths, and the quiet courage of a woman who refuses to look away. In the Cary household, nothing is ever quite what it seems-and the past never stays buried.
