The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave coming out September 17 refers to Liam Noone who either fell, jumped, or was pushed off the side of a cliff at his most beloved cottage on the California coast. When two of his three children by different marriages, Nora and Sam, decide to do their own investigation after determining the police review lacking, they will finally discover their father’s secret he had kept hidden for 50 years.
Noone, a self-made
boutique hotel entrepreneur, includes both his sons, Sam and Tommy, in his real
estate business, with Nora wanting no part of it or anything else from her
father who cheated on her mother with the sons’ mother. They are not quite
estranged, but Nora has drawn specific boundaries in the father-daughter
relationship.
While Noone kept his
families strictly apart, Nora and Sam forge an alliance to uncover what truly
happened to their father that day on the cliffside. With little cooperation
from Noone’s best friend Joe, Joe’s girlfriend, and the company’s legal ace Jonathon,
the two revisit the site of their father’s death, beginning a journey that will
lead them to astonishing answers about the father they thought they knew.
Laura Dave is known

husband Josh Singer to write the screen play for her thriller The Last Thing
He Told Me, which is now a limited series on Apple TV+ starring Jennifer
Garner. Her other books include Eight Hundred Grapes and The First
