The war is over. But some wounds take time to heal…
The 1950’s are in full swing, and for some, World War II is just a grim memory. Young Adam Beaumont, the son of a wealthy aristocratic family, is a commissioned officer in the Royal Air Force. With Adam’s uncle wielding considerable influence, he is next in line for the Baronetcy. But Adam cares little for family politics, and is still haunted by the murder of his Malayan mother at the hands of the Japanese.
At a debutante ball, Adam overhears whispers of scandal. Beau, his pompous and arrogant cousin, claims Adam is illegitimate… that his father and mother never married, and he is not worthy of the family estate. With no marriage certificate to prove otherwise, Beau’s insult strikes a nerve, and Adam’s blood boils. He is determined to prove his cousin wrong, by any means necessary…
Traveling to Hong Kong to work in his uncle’s branch of the family business, Adam delves into his family’s wartime past. Desperate to find a witness to his parent’s wedding, the young man makes the acquaintance of his father’s old friend, Perry Marshbank. But in the years since the war, Perry has become a wanted drug lord, with deep ties to the underworld. And his motives for helping the young Beaumont are questionable indeed…
From the silken boudoirs of Hong Kong to the glitzy theatre palaces of New York, Each to His Own weaves historical fact and fiction into a memorizing tapestry. Fans of Ken Follett, James Michener, and Wilbur Smith won’t want to miss the next epic chapter in the Beaumont saga.
