The Emperor of Ocean Park

Across the intersecting worlds of politics, academia, and the sunlit shores of Martha's Vineyard, Talcott Garland, an Ivy League law professor, finds his quiet life upended when his father, Judge Oliver Garland, dies of an apparent heart attack. The circumstances surrounding the judge's death are called into question by Tal's sister, Mariah, a former journalist and tireless conspiracy theorist, who asserts that the judge, a Black nominee to the Supreme Court who never took the bench, may have fallen prey to foul play.
