Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, inexorable affair. Still, each holds something back from the other - dangerous, even lethal secrets.

Then someone dies. Was it an accident or part of a plan? By now Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each other's lives and lies that neither one knows how to get away - or even if they want to. Is their love strong enough to withstand the truth, or will it ultimately destroy them?

Something - or someone - has to give.

A superb novel of psychological suspense about a pair of lovers with the best intentions and the worst luck. Instead of rules, this game has dark secrets, forbidden desires, inevitable betrayals - and cold-blooded murder.

What readers are saying:
***** 'Seriously twisted!'
***** 'Great characters and unpredictable story. A definite must!'
***** 'A stunning page turner. I could not put it down'
***** 'Best noir of the decade! Lippman has outdone herself'
