  H M Pulham Esquire - A Novel

  A Harvard reunion prompts a Boston Brahmin’s search for meaning in this comedy of manners by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Point of No Return. In preparation for the twenty-fifth reunion of his class at Harvard, Harry Pulham is asked to collect and edit the personal histories of his fellow alumni. A glance at the previous year’s class book tells him just how tedious the assignment will be: “I have been very busy all this time practising corporation law and trying to raise a family,” a typical entry reads. “I still like to go to the football games and cheer for Harvard.”   Harry’s autobiography is almost indistinguishable from those of his classmates. From his career at a Boston investment firm to his marriage to childhood friend Kay Motford, he has always made the safe, familiar choice—with one exception. For a brief interlude after World War I, Harry joined an advertising agency in Manhattan and fell in love with a beautiful, independent woman unlike anyone he had ever met. A wholly unexpected future opened up for him in those few months, but when family obligations called him back to New England, the relationship came to a sudden end. Now, twenty years later, Harry believes that his story could not have turned out any other way.   A clever satire that achieves heartbreaking poignancy, H. M. Pulham, Esquire is a masterpiece from the author declared by the New York Times to be “our foremost fictional chronicler of the well-born.”

  I have always had an obsession with fatherhood, both as a poorly served recipient and a naive purveyor. Fatherhood is the greatest of gifts. Some long for it but are, sadly, never blessed. Some have it thrust upon them and do magnificently. Others throw it away like a used betting slip or the phone number of a “ten-pound tart,” (my Mam’s phrase, not mine). 
  Join me through ten short memoirs celebrating my unbridled joy of childhood, my blinding confidence as a teenager, my mostly unsuccessful transition to manhood and all my reflections on it in hilarious hindsight. 
  Finding "Fathers Land" can last a Lifetime.

Samuel Cooper, known as “Coop” to his friends, is the chief of police in Gulf Front, Florida, a sleepy little beach town that doesn’t see many outsiders. Indeed, “chief of police” is a grand title, considering Coop’s the only officer on the “force.”   Then, out of the blue, he gets offered an intriguing side gig as bodyguard to the movie star Cherry Page. Cherry will be shooting on location in Atlanta, and someone’s been sending twisted threats to her personal email. Coop is surprised when his girlfriend Penny encourages him to take the job with the famous femme fatale. But he gets more drama than he bargained for when the celebrity stalker turns out to be a serial killer who follows Coop and Cherry back to Gulf Front.
