Did Steve Chapman kill his wife? Reporter Alexandra Webster goes undercover (as one of his employees) to find out. Before long, he starts to question what she has heard about him. What will she do when he finds out the truth about her purpose? And what did Steve's son witness that left him so traumatized?

Despite its problems, this book has some wonderful elements. The island made a great, isolated setting. The unfinished house on the island is just as creepy as an old house on the moors of Cornwall. Also, Steve's son is a terrific character, and the scenes with him are touching.
