The Sword of Damocles
Description
Edward is a successful businessman and president of a bank—but his success is founded on a secret that leaves him haunted and guilt-ridden. When the exposure of this secret threatens to undo the life of his nephew Bertram, he wrestles with how to maintain his honor while accepting the consequences of his past decisions.
This is the third in Anna Katharine Green’s Detective Gryce series, but in this story, Detective Gryce plays a minor role and isn’t involved in the central mystery. Instead, the novel focuses on themes of guilt, repentance, redemption, mercy, and, of course, the main characters’ love interests.
