An exhilarating debut novel that follows one woman's hunt for the
truth when she realizes she might have married a killer
They said her death was a tragic accident. And I believed them...until
now.
Carmen is happily married to Tom, although she knows she'll always live
in the shadow of another woman--the mistress who ended his first
marriage: Zena. Mercurial, mesmerizing, manipulative Zena--a woman who,
Carmen begins to discover, had the potential to incite the darkest of
emotions. Zena, who drowned in the sea late one night.
Zena seems ever-more present, even in death, and when Carmen unknowingly
stumbles on evidence that her husband has not been telling her the whole
truth, she can't shake her unease. As she uncovers documents and
photographs, a very different tale than the one Tom has led her to
believe begins to unfold, and she finds herself increasingly isolated
and paranoid. As the twisted events of that night begin to come to
light, Carmen must ask herself if it's really a truth worth
knowing...even if it destroys her and the lives of the people she loves
most.
