Next To Heaven, James Frey

Behind every great fortune, lies a great crime - Honoré de Balzac New Bethlehem, Connecticut.

Picture-perfect lawns, manicured hedges, multi-million dollar homes. But beneath the designer yoga gear and country club memberships lies a darker reality. In this world of excess, Devon and Belle have it all – beauty, money, status.

But they want something more. Something dangerous. Something that makes them feel alive.

Their solution? A party – a meticulously curated gathering of New Bethlehem’s elite, from a desperate ex-NFL quarterback to a hockey coach with a penchant for married women, and a ruthless Wall Street ‘closer’ who wields his wealth like a weapon. One night. Multiple betrayals.

And a murder that will shatter New Bethlehem’s carefully constructed facade.
