About

Bestselling author Howard Fast's final novel-a page-turning tale of intrigue, power, and betrayal set in one of America's wealthiest suburbs Greenwich follows a diverse cast of characters in one of the country's most affluent towns: Greenwich, Connecticut. When evidence emerges that Richard Castle, a wealthy ex-government official, approved the 1980 killings of Jesuit priests and nuns in El Salvador, Castle must find a way to save himself from his ruthless former colleagues, who are bent on keeping the past buried any way they can. Told with Fast's typical brisk pacing, Greenwich explores the links between wealth and power, and the violence waged to maintain them.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author's estate.

"At 85, Fast has lost none of his storytelling skills, and one of the pleasures of reading his fast-paced later novels is to note how they are trimmed of excess."
Publishers Weekly
"Howard Fast lifts the picture-book cover of this posh Connecticut suburb and reveals the currents of ambition, violence, guilt, doubt, and compassion that swirl underneath."

"Howard Fast has injected a sort of virus deep in his new novel, Greenwich, and no one escapes without experiencing symptoms. That includes the reader."
