It started with a documentary. The beautiful Alyssa Bradford approaches Eric Shaw to unearth the life story of her father-in-law, Campbell Bradford, a 95-year-old billionaire whose childhood is wrapped in mystery. Eric grabs the job, even though the only clues to Bradford's past are his hometown and an antique water bottle he's kept all his life.

The story line is slow at first, but as you get further into the story it picks up a little more interest. However, the end is quite puzzling. I had to read the last few chapters 3 times to get the gist of who the character actually was.
You'll have to read it for yourself to determine who that person was.
