Man of the year / Caroline Louise Walker.
Dr. Robert Hart, Sag Harbor's just-named Man of the Year, is the envy of his friends and neighbours. So when Jonah's troubled college roommate, Nick, needs a place to stay for the summer, Hart and his wife generously offer him their guest house. A win-win: Jonah will have someone to hang with, and his father can bask in the warm glow of his own generosity. But when he begins to notice his new houseguest getting a little too close to his wife, the good doctor's veneer begins to crack. Before long, he's embroiled in a desperate downward spiral, destroying the lives that stand in his way.
