Sinopse
Blessed with an angelic face and the innocence of a child, Grace Brookstein is the perfect wife for Lenny Brookstein, the king of Wall Street. The billionaire—who has global priorities, a fleet of yachts, and a seemingly perfect life—made his fortune with the hedge fund Quorum, which serves the elderly, blue-collar workers, small charities, and families struggling to survive and secure a better life for their descendants. The epitome of the American citizen—ambitious, workaholic, and generous—Lenny's face is everywhere: from the pages of business publications to the society columns. The couple is lauded for their generous philanthropic contributions, especially the annual Quorum charity ball. Despite the catastrophic stock market crash, the Brooksteins' lifestyle (summer vacations, polo matches, and private jets) remains unshaken. Until the day Lenny sets sail and never returns. His yacht is found empty at sea. Inconsolable, Grace Brookstein doesn't realize that her husband's disappearance represents only the beginning of a dark and terrifying nightmare that is about to dominate her life. A few weeks later, billions of dollars disappear from the Quorum fund, causing the bankruptcy of thousands of middle-class families and small institutions. Lenny Brookstein's widow tops the list of suspects for the theft. The entire country is convinced she committed the crime, and everyone wants to see her pay for it—or worse, they want to take justice into their own hands. Suddenly, the socialite who was once America's sweetheart transforms into a hated modern-day Marie Antoinette, alone and defenseless in the face of her imminent downfall. Even so, Grace is certain she has been used as a scapegoat and will do anything to prove it. Surrounded by enemies, she learns to trust only herself and embarks on a psychological odyssey that will forever transform the sweet and angelic Grace Brookstein. Filled with love affairs, glamour, surprising twists and turns, and the seductive suspense that made Sidney Sheldon a legendary bestselling author, After Darkness takes the reader on a mind-boggling journey that continues the master's legacy.
