Dancing Above the Waves: a Novel Susan Walerstein

I only hope that nobody else saw what I did ?

Wealthy Bostonian Jack ?Scooter? McCalister has it all?money, charm, and the devotion of two different women: Sherry, his high-society wife, and Erica, his island-born mistress. But while driving recklessly to catch a ferry one rainy morning, Jack strikes a young girl and leaves the scene of the accident, not even bothering to see if she is alive or dead. With this one fateful decision, Jack?s perfect world shatters.

Like a coastline lashed by a wintry sea, guilt and confusion wreak havoc on Jack?s carefully managed existence. He struggles to keep the pieces of his life together until a dangerous witness to the accident begins blackmailing him, threatening to expose the truth. Pushed to the brink by his unknown tormentor, a double life, a faltering magazine business, and his ever-present remorse, Jack is caught in a web of lies. Now, Jack must break free before he loses his career, his sanity?and his life.
