About the book: 2011 / A dizzying novel into which the fleeting acquaintance of Kay Lansing, a modest librarian from New York, and Peter Carrington, the heir to an ancient aristocratic estate, grew kind, crowned with a wedding. But before the couple had time to return from their honeymoon, the young husband was arrested on charges of murdering his longtime girlfriend, who had gone missing twenty-two years ago. All the evidence points to him, and only Kay believes that Peter is innocent. The heavier the weight of evidence that seems to expose her husband as a murderer, the more Kay becomes convinced that the key to solving this crime lies in one episode from her own past.
