El aprecio por un cuadro de Bill Wechsler lleva al historiador de arte Leo Hertzberg a querer conocer a su autor. Una profunda amistad, basada por igual en afinidades y contrastes, los unirá desde entonces, e incluirá asimismo a sus familias. A lo largo de los años, tres mujeres orbitan en su universo: Erica, la hermosa profesora casada con Leo, y las dos esposas del pintor, Lucille y Violet. Pero cuando una muerte trágica sacude inesperadamente el mundo de estos personajes, entre ellos surge un nuevo orden bajo el que late un oscuro engaño que acabará por erigirse en una amenaza de imprevisibles consecuencias.

Don’t miss John Grisham’s upcoming Framed, his first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man! Mercer Mann, a popular writer from Camino Island, is back on the beach, marrying her boyfriend, Thomas, in a seaside ceremony. Bruce Cable, infamous owner of Bay Books, performs the wedding. Afterward, Bruce tells Mercer that he has stumbled upon an incredible story. Mercer desperately needs an idea for her next novel, and Bruce now has one. The true story is about Dark Isle, a sliver of a barrier island not far off the North Florida coast. It was settled by freed slaves three hundred years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave. That last descendant is Lovely Jackson, elderly now, who loves her birthplace and its remarkable history. But now Tidal Breeze, a huge, ruthless corporate developer, wants to build a resort and casino on the island, which Lovely knows, deep down, is rightfully hers.
