SUMMARY:Books Over Coffee:  THE DAMAGE by Caitlin Wahrer
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL FOR "GAY PRIDE MONTH"!\n\n“A rollercoaster of 
 terror\, marked by whip-fast twists and turns.”—The New York Times\n  
 \n“Pulled me in from the first page... Put this one high on your summer 
 list.”—Stephen King\n \nWhen a small-town family is pushed to the 
 brink\, how far will they go to protect one of their own? An edgy\, 
 propulsive read about what we will do in the name of love and 
 blood\n\n\nTony has always looked out for his younger brother\, Nick. So 
 when he's called to a hospital bed where Nick is lying battered and bruised 
 after a violent sexual assault\, his protective instincts flare\, and a 
 white-hot rage begins to build.\n\nAs a small-town New England lawyer\, 
 Tony's wife\, Julia\, has cases involving kids all the time. When Detective 
 Rice gets assigned to this one\, Julia feels they're in good hands. 
 Especially because she senses that Rice\, too\, understands how things can 
 quickly get complicated. Very complicated.\n\nAfter all\, one moment Nick 
 was having a drink with a handsome stranger\; the next\, he was at the 
 center of an investigation threatening to tear not only him\, but his 
 entire family\, apart. And now his attacker\, out on bail\, is disputing 
 Nick's version of what happened.\n\nAs Julia tries to help her 
 brother-in-law\, she sees Tony's desire for revenge\, to fix things for 
 Nick\, getting out of control. Tony is starting to scare her. And before 
 long\, she finds herself asking: does she really know what her husband is 
 capable of? Or of what she herself is?\n\nExploring elements of doubt\, 
 tragedy\, suspense\, and justice\, The Damage is an all-consuming read that 
 marks the explosive debut of an extraordinary new writer.
