Introduction

A gripping novel of literary suspense about a woman forced to reveal a secret that may solve a crime but ruin her life.

From almost their first meeting, Ginnie Holmes is transformed by the passion she feels with Will--so much so that she risks her marriage and her children as she abandons herself to their exhilarating affair. They meet in an abandoned boathouse, certain they will never be discovered there.

That secluded boathouse has caught someone else’s eye, too--and when Ginnie becomes convinced she’s seen a murderer just outside its window, she must decide whether to come forward with what she knows--which will reveal the affair and destroy her family.

Ginnie’s life begins to unravel as she faces the prospect of losing her family and Will, whose career would be ruined by implication. But she is unable to stop thinking about the woman who was killed--and about her knowledge of the crime. This is atmospheric literary suspense at its very finest--a novel about the twin nature of passion and violence.
