The stone girl : a novel
(Book)

For several generations an elite circle of rich and powerful men has, by malfeasance, murder, and marriage, built a secret and impregnable empire they call The Lost Boys. Their violations are casual and devastating-- especially of those who unwittingly fit their purposes. Eve Quimby was seventeen when she fell victim. She now works in Paris as a art restorer-- and raises her daughter Chloâe. When Chloâe is diagnosed with leukemia an elegant stranger brings her flowers-- and Evie is pulled back into a snare she thought she'd escaped. -- adapted from jacket
