The Perfect Plan: A Novel

From New York Times bestselling author Bryan Reardon comes a modern Cain and Abel story with dangerous consequences. Liam Brennan teeters on the edge.

Early one morning, he snaps, kidnapping a young woman who works for Drew Brennan, Liam’s older brother and the upstart candidate in a heated election. This sudden, vicious attack appears to be the beginning of an unthinkable spiral. But when it comes to the Brennan brothers, nothing is what it seems. To the rest of the world, Liam is the troubled problem child who grew up to be his brother’s enforcer, while Drew has always been the perfect son and a charismatic leader who has his sights set on the governor’s mansion with his charming and beautiful wife, Patsy, by his side. Now, as Liam tries to stay one step ahead of the authorities and his brother, every passing minute provides a deeper glimpse into the brothers’ past, long hidden behind a picture-perfect suburban veneer. With the threat of the truth surfacing, Liam and Drew are driven toward one final, desperate act. Alternating between tense, twisting present-day action and heart-wrenching vignettes from Liam’s past, The Perfect Plan is a gripping race to a shocking showdown between brothers-and an unforgettable tale of a family’s dark secrets.
