Publisher's Synopsis
From the author of The Last Thing He Told Me--the #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick--comes an epic love story wrapped in a riveting mystery.
When the patriarch of a famed hotel empire dies under suspicious circumstances, his daughter and her estranged brother join forces to find out what happened, unraveling a larger mystery about who their father really was. Liam Noone was many things to many people. To the public, he was an exacting, self-made hotel magnate fleeing his past. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving albeit distant family man who kept his finances flush and his families carefully separated. To Nora, he was a father who often loved her from afar--notably a cliffside cottage perched on the California coast from which he fell to his death. The authorities rule the death accidental, but Nora's brother Sam has other ideas. Sam, who she barely knows. As Nora and Sam form an uneasy alliance to unravel the mystery, they start putting together the pieces of their father's past--and find an unexpected answer about their own future. Doubling down on her trademark soulful suspense, The Night We Lost Him is an evocative and unforgettable page-turner about what it means to be the witness to someone's life.
