The GhostThe Ghost

Dashing, captivating Adam Lang was Britain's longest-serving--and most controversial--prime minister of the last half-century, whose career ended in tatters after he sided with America in an unpopular war on terror. Now, after stepping down in disgrace, Lang is hiding out in Martha's Vineyard to finish his much sought-after, potentially explosive memoir, for which he accepted one of history's largest cash advances. But the project runs aground when his ghostwriter suddenly and mysteriously disappears and later washes up, dead, on the island's deserted shore. A new ghostwriter jumps at the chance to work on Lang's book--and at the big paycheck the job promises--but it doesn't take long for him to realize he has made a fatal error in judgment. The ex-prime minister is not just a charismatic politician who made a few mistakes. He's a dark, tortured man with haunting secrets in is past--secrets with the power to alter world politics, the power to kill.
