Cal Bradley se oženil z lásky. Patnáct let prožil po boku své manželky Marie, kterou po celou dobu vášnivě miloval. V idylickém koutě Nové Anglie, která byla domovem jeho rodiny již po několik generací, se z Cala stal jeden z nejváženějších mužů ve městě - byl otcem rodiny, pravidelným návštěvníkem kostela a talentovaným psychiatrem, který řídil rodinnou kliniku. Žil spořádaným a spokojeným životem. Až jedné noci se stalo ve městě neštěstí - hlavním aktérem byl devatenáctiletý mladík jménem Peter Blue, který po hádce se svou přítelkyní zapálil místní kostel a potom šermoval ukradenou zbraní před obličejem šéfa místní policie - cynického chlapíka, který nikomu nic tak lehce neodpustí. Blue trpěl pocity osamění a měl sebevražedné úmysly. Proto je poslán k Bradleymu na léčení. Pro pacienta je to poslední šance, jak se spasit před vězením a sebevraždou. Pro lékaře je to začátek cesty do světa strachu, lží a nakonec i vraždy. Ukáže se totiž, že zvláštní život mladíka je svázán s Calovým. V hloubi duše dospívajícího mladíka je ukryt klíč k hrozivému tajemství - k dokonale utajené minulosti Marie Bradleyové. Dřív, než se Cal Bradley může s pravdou vypořádat ho čeká zásadní rozhodnutí - mezi hlasem svého rozumu a hlasem svého srdce.

But others are not so discerning, and will stop at nothing until they get what they want, whatever the consequences...Fast, furious, tightly plotted and brilliantly drawn, this is a superb thriller, up with the very best, from the author of the award winning TRUE CRIME.
