Synopsis
Years ago, Oliver Garland--an African-American judge--was nominated to the Supreme Court, but was unable to accept because of a shocking scandal. Now he is dead, and one of his legacies is another scandal, the details of which are encoded in a mysterious set of clues that his son Talcott must follow to reveal the truth, terrible though it may be. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

Publisher's Note
An extraordinary fiction debut: a large, stirring novel of suspense that is, at the same time, a work of brilliantly astute social observation. The Emperor of Ocean Park is set in two privileged worlds: the upper crust African American society of the eastern seaboard—old families who summer on Martha’s Vineyard—and the inner circle of an Ivy League law school. It tells the story of a complex family with a single, seductive link to the shadowlands of crime.

The Emperor of the title, Judge Oliver Garland, has just died, suddenly. A brilliant legal mind, conservative and famously controversial, Judge Garland made more enemies than friends. Many years before, he’d earned a judge’s highest prize: a Supreme Court nomination. But in a scene of bitter humiliation, televised across the country, his nomination collapsed in scandal. The humbling defeat became a private agony, one from which he never recovered.

But now the Judge’s death raises even more questions—and it seems to be leading to a second, even more terrible scandal. Could Oliver Garland have been murdered? He has left a strange message for his son Talcott, a professor of law at a great university, entrusting him with “the arrangements”—a mysterious puzzle that only Tal can unlock, and only by unearthing the ambiguities of his father’s past. When another man is found dead, and then another, Talcott—wry, straight-arrow, almost too self-aware to be a man of action—must risk his career, his marriage, and even his life, following the clues his father left him.

Intricate, superbly written, often scathingly funny, The Emperor of Ocean Park is a triumphant work of fiction, packed with character and incident—a brilliantly crafted tapestry of ambition, family secrets, murder, integrity tested, and justice gone terribly wrong.


From the Hardcover edition.

Industry reviews
"...THE EMPEROR OF OCEAN PARK turns out to be two very different stories. The family drama is a closely observed, often affecting portrait of the Garland clan, an elite, socially prominent black family with a secret history that will come to haunt its youngest son. The thriller is a contrived, implausible and needlessly baroque melodrama, which reads as if it were written for serial publication, with nearly every chapter ending on a hokey cliffhanger...."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (06/04/2002)

"A literate page-turner that effortlessly blends a gripping whodunit with complex discussions of race in contemporary America." (starred review)
