About This Book

A young writer moves into the countryside and becomes entangled in a tangled mystery of intrigue, damaged reputations, and romantic entanglements. Accusations, damning evidence, and a prisoner's plight force family members and lovers to make sacrifices and desperate choices, including flight and confrontations. Secrets tied to a small wood, an elusive additional figure, and shifts in public scandal propel an investigation that blends practical sleuthing with unexpected medical developments and an apparently supernatural episode. Gradual revelations clarify motives and restore standings as personal loyalties and a mother's devotion shape the final reckonings.
