Hampton Manor is a multi-genre work about the lives of five townspeople in the quiet New England town of Old Brooking, Connecticut as they contend with the powerful Hampton family. The protagonist, Adam Hampton III, is an amalgamation of characters from fiction and real life. He stirs up the emotions of each of the main characters through a series of ruthless actions until one finally hires an assassin to kill both Adam and his father, and burn Hampton Manor to the ground.

Page by page Hampton Manor brings you closer to a terrible secret that will give you goosebumps as you dive into the mystery of the Hampton family." — Jack King, "Author of Suspense" (in from the cold)
