If your son was on trial for murder, what would you do?Now a major TV series

A mother vanished. A father presumed guilty. There is no proof. There are no witnesses. For the children, there is only doubt. From the bestselling author of Defending Jacob. . . .  “Gripping . . . a masterly piece of writing.”—The New York Times “A wonderful, well-written novel that crackles with suspense.”—Stephen KingA BOOKREPORTER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAROne afternoon in November 1975, ten-year-old Miranda Larkin comes home from school to find her house eerily quiet. Her mother is missing. Nothing else is out of place. There is no sign of struggle. Her mom’s pocketbook remains in the front hall, in its usual spot. So begins a mystery that will span a lifetime. What happened to Jane Larkin? Investigators suspect Jane’s husband. A criminal defense attorney, Dan Larkin would surely be an expert in outfoxing the police. But no evidence is found linking him to a crime, and the case fades from the public’s memory, a simmering, unresolved riddle. Jane’s three children—Alex, Jeff, and Miranda—are left to be raised by the man who may have murdered their mother. Two decades later, the remains of Jane Larkin are found. The investigation is awakened. The children, now grown, are forced to choose sides. With their father or against him? Guilty or innocent? And what happens if they are wrong? A tale about family—family secrets and vengeance, but also family love—All That Is Mine I Carry With Me masterfully grapples with a primal question: When does loyalty reach its limit?

Ben Truman er bare 24 år gammel da han "arver" politisjefjobben på hjemstedet av sin far. Da Ben oppdager liket av en fremtredende aktor fra Boston-distriktet i en lokal hytte, forandrer livet seg dramatisk. Ben har aldri etterforsket noe mer alvorlig enn et og annet tilfelle av hærverk, og gjør en rekke nybegynnerfeil. Saken overtas av Bostonpolitiet, men Ben mener at siden drapet skjedde på hans hjemmebane, bør han være en del av etterforskningen. Bostonpolitiet tolererer ham så vidt, men spørsmålet er hvor lenge. Ben avdekker en hemmelig historie om mord og hevn som strekker seg tilbake tjue år. Det hele tar svært uventede og sjokkerende vendinger.

Visestatsadvokat Andy Barber er velansett i lokalsamfunnet Newton i Massachusetts. Sammen med sin kone, Laurie og deres 14-årige sønn Jacob, blir han stilt overfor sitt livs mareritt, da 14-årige Ben Rifken blir funnet brutalt myrdet i en park. Andy er overbevist om at en lokal barnemishandler er den skyldige, men urovekkende opplysninger og avsløringer peker sjokkerende nok i retning av Jacob. Hos Andy vekkes alt av foreldreinstinkt og han gjør hva han kan for å beskytte sønnen. Jacob sier han er uskyldig, og Andy tror ham. Det må han jo gjøre. Han er guttens far. Når dramaet kulminerer må Andy og hans kone Laurie stille seg alle foreldres vanskeligste spørsmålet: Hvor godt kjenner du egentlig ditt eget barn? Og hvor langt er du villig til å gå for å redde det? « ...en helt usedvanlig spennende og besettende historie som fortjener og bør få et stort publikum.» Washington Post «Genial.» New York Times
