About the book
Emily St. John Mandel's fifth novel centers on Vincent and her half-brother Paul, who both work at a remote hotel at the northern tip of Vancouver Island. A threatening message scrawled on the lobby window unsettles the place and appears aimed at Jonathan Alkaitis, the wealthy financier who owns it. Vincent, tending the bar, becomes involved with him and enters a life of luxury in Connecticut. Meanwhile, his investment firm is secretly a fraud, and the story follows the people tied to it as its fallout spreads.
