WINNER OF THE ANTHONY AWARD(R) for Best Paperback Original! WINNER OF
THE MACAVITY SUE FEDER MEMORIAL AWARD for Best Historical Fiction! A
2017 EDGAR AWARD(R) NOMINEE! In the waning days of a lazy August
holiday, Ellie Stone is enjoying a bright Adirondack-lake morning.
Nearby, two men plummet to their deaths just a few feet short of the
water of a dangerous diving pool. A tragic accident, it seems. But the
police quickly establish that the two victims--one a stranger to the
lake and the other a teenaged boy from a nearby music camp--surely
didn't know each other. So how did they come to die together? Wading
into a slippery morass of free-love intellectuals and charismatic
evangelicals, Ellie's investigation forces her to navigate old grudges
and cold war passions, lost ideals and betrayed loves. As usual, she
sticks her nose where it's unwanted, rattling nerves and putting herself
in jeopardy. But this time it's her heart that's also at risk.
