When powerful real-estate tycoon Nero Golden immigrates to the States under mysterious circumstances, he and his three adult children assume new identities, and move into a grand mansion in downtown Manhattan. Arriving shortly after the inauguration of Barack Obama, Nero and his sons, each extraordinary in his own right, quickly establish themselves at the apex of New York society. Their story is told by their neighbour, René, an aspiring filmmaker who finds in the Goldens the perfect subject. René chronicles the undoing of the house of Golden : the high life of money, of art and fashion, a sibling quarrel, an unexpected metamorphosis, the arrival of a beautiful woman, betrayal and murder. In a new world order of alternative truths, here is the ultimate novel about identity, veracity, terror and lies.
