Title : Gone - Danielle Steel - Book

Summary :

On the eve of World War II, the Pattersons—Marielle, Malcolm, and their son Teddy—lead a seemingly trouble-free life in their luxurious apartment on New York's East Side. In reality, dark secrets torment the couple...

Every year, Marielle lights a candle on St. Patrick's Day, in memory of little André, the child of a secret first marriage, who died in a tragic accident. This year, in the vast cathedral, the young woman runs into Charles Delauney, her first husband, her childhood sweetheart, an "expatriate" artist who has returned to the country to watch over his sick old father. A glance, a light touch of the hand, and the past resurfaces between these two passionate beings. Shortly after, tragedy strikes: Teddy is kidnapped. The police immediately consider Charles the prime suspect. Led briskly by the seductive John Taylor, an FBI special agent, the investigation nevertheless stalls. Arrested and charged, Charles, who maintains his innocence, must appear in court. But who is guilty, if Charles isn't? As the trial unfolds, the actors in the drama, Malcolm and even Marielle, are in turn implicated. Like a monstrous puzzle, the truth gradually emerges. A truth that is not necessarily good to hear...
