Ed King English edition - David Guterson Taschenbuch

In Seattle in 1962 Walter Cousins a mild-mannered actuary takes a risk of his own and makes the biggest error of his life. He sleeps with Diane Burroughs the sexy not-quite-legal British au pair who's taking care of his children for the summer. Diane gets pregnant and leaves their baby on a doorstep but not before turning the tables on Walter and setting in motion a tragedy of epic proportions. Their orphaned child adopted by an adoring family and named Edward Aaron King grows up to become a billionaire Internet tycoon and an international celebrity - the King of Search - who unknowingl y but inexorably hurtles through life toward a fate he may have no power to shape.
