A Novel
by Elizabeth McCullough Keenan, Greg Wands
A fresh take on the classic conman chase novel following two adult siblings forced to play nice in hopes of tracking down the man they believe killed their mother and ran off with their sizable inheritance.
Hazel and Kagan have never really gotten along, but the siblings have certain things in common: they've both been cut off from the family fund, they're not on the best terms with their mother, and they aren't fans of their stepfather, Perry.
When the siblings receive the tragic news of their mother's suspicious passing, an investigation quickly follows, and the police seem to have them both high on their list of possible suspects.
After an awkward, yet revealing conversation with Perry, the man disappears. A call to the family lawyer confirms Perry didn't leave empty handed—the family money was cleared out.
Faced with the reality of their current dire financial situation becoming permanent, Hazel and Kagan frantically scramble for any leads on their stepfather's whereabouts.
With their futures at stake, the siblings must find a way to work together to outsmart a long-operating mastermind conman who is nothing at all like the man they thought they knew.
A thrilling chase packed into a stirring commentary on the complexities of family, Trust Issues delivers an unexpected twist at every turn.
"[A] lively page-turner...McCullough and Wands keep things fleet and frivolous, stocking the narrative with an array of genuine surprises en route to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion. It's a trip worth taking." —Publishers Weekly
"The title is perfect because there is no one trustworthy in this novel of family and secrets, and readers will find themselves hoping for everyone to get their just deserts." —Library Journal
"A fresh, beguiling interpretation of the classic grifter novel, Trust Issues takes the reader on an exhilarating chase from the most well-heeled corners of Manhattan to sunny Boca Raton. With steamy entanglements, high-stakes deceit, and a sibling rivalry for the ages, Elizabeth McCollough Keenan's and Greg Wands' expertly crafted plot kept me hooked from start to finish." —K.T. Nguyen, author of You Know What You Did
