TuxedoPark

Lawyer John Palmer is awoken by an early morning phone call summoning him to a crime scene unfolding in New York's storied Tuxedo Park, involving his old summer flame, Susan Sterling. The pair had taken very different paths since their carefree teenage days: Susan reveled in the jet-set world of fashion modeling, whereas John charted a decidedly less glamorous course prosecuting bad guys in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Yet their worlds collide again after Susan goes missing on an evening run in Tuxedo Park.

John is asked to moonlight on the case with his old mentor, Don Haggerty. As the trail of evidence eventually leads to president-elect Kent Dawson, John is in a race against time, trying to stop a cold-blooded sociopath before he takes the nation's highest office. To succeed, he must overcome bureaucratic obstruction, political henchmen, and his own guilt over his and Susan's buried romantic past.

It's been nearly twenty years since John Palmer last laid eyes on Susan Sterling when he receives news of her abduction. John had a euphoric romance with the comely Susan before going off to college. Susan was tall, beautiful, and well-pedigreed, and John knew he was fortunate to be playing above his league.

John never saw Susan again after that summer in Tuxedo Park, but his guilt over how their relationship ended was never far from his mind. As he drives the fifty miles north from Manhattan to the scene of her abduction, the past he fought to leave buried in Tuxedo Park now confronts him head on.
