Alafair Burke Knihy

Angela spoznala Jasona Powella pri organizovaní večierka v East Hamptone. Predpokladala, že ich známosť bude len krátky románik, podobne ako mnohé vzťahy medzi miestnymi a letnými návštevníkmi. Prekvapilo ju, že Jason, uznávaný profesor ekonómie na Newyorskej univerzite, s ňou očividne má iné plány. Nasledujúce leto sa vzali. Ich manželstvo sa v Angelinom prípade ukázalo ako možnosť začať žiť odznova. So synom sa konečne odsťahovali z domu Angelinej matky na Manhattan, kde o ich tragickej minulosti nikto ani len netušil. Po šiestich rokoch sa z Jasona vďaka úspešnej knihe a rastúcej mediálnej kariére stala politicky a kultúrne vplyvná osobnosť. Aj Angela sa nechtiac ocitla v žiare reflektorov, hoci sa im celý život vyhýbala. Potom však vysokoškolská praktikantka obvinila Jasona z nevhodného správania a ďalšia žena, Kerry Lynchová, sa k nej pridala s ešte znepokojujúcejším obvinením. Ich priam dokonalý manželský život sa pomaly rozpadal. Jason trval na svojej nevine a Angela mu verila. No jedného dňa Kerry zmizla a Angela si musí posvietiť na obe strany - na muža, ktorého si vzala, a na ženy, ktorým odmieta veriť. Ako ďaleko zájde manželka, aby ochránila milovaného muža? Bude stáť po jeho boku, aj keď ju so sebou stiahne na dno?
