The gripping new thriller from award-winning author Andrew Klavan. When a wealthy family is murdered in their Chicago mansion, the case seems open and shut, but one man's search for answers reveals the hidden darkness in an idyllic community...

Cameron Winter has a knack for solving complicated crimes. His background - spy turned English professor - means he's uniquely placed to decipher the clues behind some of the most complex cases.

When four members of a wealthy household are killed in their suburban Chicago mansion, shock reverberates around the community. Their bodies were pulled from the burning building - but all of them had already been shot dead.

It seems like an open and shut case when local police soon have the obvious culprit under lock and key. But with the only witness a child who has no memory of the events, Winter digs deeper and reveals there is more to the case than there seems.

Just why does the lead detective on the case want Winter off his patch so badly? What seems like a safe suburban paradise is anything but - and Winter will have to take great personal risks to reveal the truth behind the murders.
