Garden Lakes, Jaime Clarkes third novel featuring Charlie Martens, finds Charlie employed as an Arizona newspaper columnist who has built his career on a deception he committed that inadvertently stirred up antiimmigrant sentiment, casting a pall over the state. But Charlies story is really one of serial deception, a life of prevarications he traces back to a summer fellowship program he attended while a junior at an allboys prep school. The chosen fellows were tasked with undertaking supervised construction of a house in a halfbuilt development donated to the school by the bankrupt developer. The fellows lived and worked together and were tested when a transient girl wandered into the development after the disappearance of both of the fellowships chaperones. What happened at Garden Lakes reverberates through everyones lives, but especially Charlies, which is forever altered by his actions that summer.
