Sylvia's Secret

Sylvia's Secret is a fast-paced psychological murder mystery set mostly in London and Devon during mid-December. Based on several years of research, this fictional work weaves historical information into a dark and intriguing plot that explores Sylvia Plath's struggle with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, as well as the actual circumstances of her death. The research has unearthed a little-known fact about Plath that, when revealed, may provide answers not just for those interested in the tragic author of The Bell Jar, but also for anyone who suffers with depression and mental illness. Rated PG14 for some strong language, light sensuality, and adult themes. "Scott Evans knows all about the collisions between the literary, commercial, and academic worlds and he blends them seamlessly in this intriguing tale of trust, betrayal, and redemption." - John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author known for his series of legal and crime thrillers featuring the characters Dismas Hardy, Abe Glitsky and Wyatt Hunt. "Nothing is ever as it seems and mental aberrations are sometimes mirrors across time. This is a fine continuation of the Joe Conrad saga, and it will confuse and delight." - David Lloyd Sutton, reviewer for the Sacramento and SF Book Reviews
