WINNER OF THE ANTHONY AWARDÂŽ for Best Paperback Original! WINNER OF THE MACAVITY SUE FEDER MEMORIAL AWARD for Best Historical Fiction! A 2017 EDGAR AWARDÂŽ 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 victimsâone a stranger to the lake and the other a teenaged boy from a nearby music campâsurely didnât know each other. So how did they come to die together? Wading into a slippery morass of free-love intellectuals and charismatic evangelicals, Ellieâs investigation forces her to navigate old grudges and cold war passions, lost ideals and betrayed loves. As usual, she sticks her nose where itâs unwanted, rattling nerves and putting herself in jeopardy. But this time itâs her heart thatâs also at risk.
