From Library Journal
Matthew Marshall, founder of a telecommunications empire, had it all-a beautiful wife and children, houses in Corfu, Telluride, and Antigua-and appears to have been it all-war hero, self-made man, and generous donor to charity. However, his untimely death and a strange codicil added to his will a few weeks before his death stipulating that half of his estate go to an unknown daughter cast doubt on much of his life. Adam Bruno, an erstwhile lawyer who is investigating the existence of the daughter, discovers that Marshall commanded great loyalty from those who knew him but revealed little of himself in return. The only clues lie in a remote cabin in upstate New York that serves as a memorial to Marshall's experiences in the Vietnam War.
