“Caldwell expertly plucks at the reader’s nerves building dread and doubt at a slow but deliciously inexorable pace. Almost Hitchcockian in its execution, this novel has the feel of a 50s film noire.”
-Romantic Times

"A murder mystery set in Chicago and Rome, it still features Caldwell's trademark sensitive insights, but it also has a heart-pounding plotline driven by a dark secret and an affair gone wrong... The book will keep you guessing until the surprising and thoroughly satisfying end."
