The Charity: One Girl's Journey Into the Heart of Terrorism - Paperback

Jessica Wyeth was born with traits she couldn't hide: beauty, cunning, and an unshakable instinct to survive.

Poised to take her rightful place in her family's lucrative, high-stakes horse-racing empire, Jessica is blocked at every turn by Gus Adams, the farm's manager and top trainer. When Gus is found brutally murdered, all the evidence points to her. Terrified and out of options, Jessica runs - and becomes a master of hiding in plain sight.

But clearing her name means digging into the truth, and the truth is more dangerous than the accusation. Her family's business, she discovers, once funneled money to a U.S.-based terrorist cell. Just as she begins to rebuild a life under an assumed identity, the organization that destroyed her family finds her again. This time, she doesn't run. She heads straight back to Boston, racing against the clock for answers.

What Jessica uncovers is a cold, unrelenting truth: the Charity will stop at nothing to complete its mission - and she isn't the only one hiding in the daylight.

Moving between the quiet elegance of Hamilton, Massachusetts, the rolling horse country of Kentucky, and the streets of Boston, The Charity is a fast-paced legal thriller and suspense novel that traces one woman's journey from innocence to complicity. Weaving in the real history of the Irish Republican Army, the story pulls readers into the mind of a clandestine terrorist cell - and slowly, unsettlingly, toward understanding what drives it.

Perfect for readers of crime fiction, domestic suspense, and thrillers rooted in family secrets and hidden identities, The Charity will keep you turning pages until the very last one.
