INDISCRETION is a story of love, lust, greed, power, and, ultimately, betrayal. Told through the eyes of an outsider, this unconventional, sexy thriller will have you on the edge of your seat. Questions will run through your head, and the twists and turns will always keep you guessing as to what will happen next. Dubow is not afraid to make his readers uncomfortable as they question their own understandings of loyalty, faithfulness, deception, infidelity, and what it takes to get what you want. This book does not play it safe, and that’s what makes it an irresistible read.
Young, spirited Claire finds herself amongst the most glamorous when she arrives at a high-society party in the Hamptons and is introduced to the hosts, Harry and Madeleine Winslow. Instantly, Claire recognizes Harry as the National Book Award-winning author who is on the cusp of greatness. She is immediately taken by the couple and their charm and wisdom, and they quickly take her in as one of their inner-sanctum. Walter, one of Madeleine’s oldest friends and our narrator, remembers vividly the day Claire sauntered into all three of their lives, but never could have predicted how it unfolded. What starts as glamorous summer fun swiftly devolves into something dangerous as Claire becomes increasingly envious of Harry and Madeleine’s lifestyle of love and wealth. By Labor Day, she is no longer content with simply being a hanger-on, and destructive desire takes over.”
