NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Susan Isaacs brings
her wicked wit and keen understanding of what really goes on between men and
women to a very different slice of Long Island—the Hamptons.

Magic hour. That
perfect time, that fleeting hour of enchanted light near dusk and dawn that is
perfect for moviemaking, perfect for making love. Perfect for murder.

And into the magic
hour steps Stephen Brady, wise guy, tough guy, local farm boy turned homicide
cop, and a good man with a very bad life. But just as his luck is about to
change, the rich, gifted, and urbane filmmaker Sy Spencer is murdered, and
Brady discovers that his prime suspect is a woman he and the victim shared.

A spellbinding
mystery, a scathing social satire and a poignant love story, Magic Hour looks
beyond the trendy magazine-cover Hamptons’ world of the summer set’s
high-cheekboned elegance and the locals’ down-on-the-farm authenticity into the
hearts of real people.

Magic Hour is the story of the treacherous murder
that rocks them all and of the police detective who is too cold-hearted, too
world-weary to ever fall in love—until he does.
