Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Architect ! Charles Belfoure's next novel is a puzzling historical thriller about a man who must dig through the rubble of his past to construct a future worth living, grounded by Belfoure's experiences as a professional architect. Someone has to take the blame when the Britannia Theatre's balcony collapses. Over a dozen people are killed, and the fingers all point at the architect. The man should have known better, should have made it safer, should have done something. Douglas Layton knows the flaw wasn't in his design, but he can't fight a guilty verdict. When the architect is finally released from prison, he has no job, no family, nowhere to go. He needs to assume a new identity and rebuild his life. But the disgraced man soon finds himself digging up the past in a way he never anticipated. If the collapse wasn't an accident ... who caused it? And why? And what if they find out who he used to be? A chilling novel of architecture, intrigue, and identity, this historical thriller uncovers one man's quest to clear his name and correct the mistake that ruined his life.

  • How a Good Man was Framed

    A story of how a good man from early in 20th century England was framed. He was an excellent architect and was accused of causing an accident that was clearly not his fault. However, the public and the law condemned as the culprit and sent him to jail for 5 years. After getting out of prison he had nothing. His reputation was ruined and he had lost his family. He was lucky to get a job painting backgrounds for plays and acts at a local theatre. He was a very good artist and was soon sought by many acts for his "cloths". He would not be happy until he had recovered his reputation and helped put the guilty behind bars. He was so happy to find his son and fell in love with his boss at the theatre. Highly recommended book.
