The Society

A Novel

De: Karen Winn

Rumors about the Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some believe the secret society is merely an elite social club, others are convinced it hides something more sinister…

Vivian Lawrence was born into old-money Boston, but when her family fortune vanishes so does her carefully curated life. Desperate, she turns to an old family legend that ties her to The Knox and its inheritance, searching for a way into the exclusive secret society. She doesn’t expect that entry to come in the form of Peter, a charming Knox insider with movie star good looks and just enough roughness to his charm to make Vivian weak in the knees for the first time in her life.

Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a restless young nurse eager to distance herself from her simple Outer Banks upbringing. When the effortlessly glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated. But then Vivian abruptly disappears without a trace, and Taylor’s search for answers pulls her into The Knox itself—as their new employee.

The further Taylor goes into the Knox’s orbit of unimaginable wealth and sordid history, the more the mystery of Vivian deepens. As Taylor will soon discover, more so than money or status, secrets are the Knox’s currency.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“In The Society, Karen Winn weaves an addictive story about longing and belonging centered on a mysterious social club built on old Boston money and real-life dark secrets you didn’t learn about in history class. The Society will get its hooks in you, but watch your back. All is not as it appears in this twisty and beautifully written book.” —Julie Carrick Dalton, author of The Last Beekeeper
