A gripping psychological thriller with an elite private school atmosphere, subtly similar to Donna Tart's acclaimed book The Secret History. Andy and Ian Copeland made many memories at the elite Glenlake School twenty years ago. They became a real Legendary Couple, even despite the short gap in their senior year. It would seem like an ordinary teenage drama. Right? A corpse at the bottom of a lake may prove otherwise. A mysterious drowned man emerges from the depths, bringing the lovers back to the sunny memories of their youth, darkened by ominous shadows, and forcing them to reconsider their views on their own marriage, school and each other.

A mine filled with uncertainty, long-standing secrets, hidden stories and manipulations. When everyone has a secret, can the perfect family survive their presence? What a fascinating and original story! I couldn't stop." — Henk Philippi Ryan "A smart, gripping mystery that explores how secrets from the past can bring a family together—or tear them apart forever." — Lou Burney “The body is at the bottom of the lake. A married couple who have secrets from their boarding school days. And their resourceful daughter, able to uncover the truth she doesn't want to know. A gripping murder mystery replete with poetry, passion and lies, it captivated me until the very end. A luxurious, dark fairy tale that I couldn’t tear myself away from!” — Emily Carpenter “Linda Keir's deft tale of a private school destroyed by years of scandal is a seductive tale of suspense. The lies we tell not only define us. She becomes us." — Amber Cowie “A well-written story that doesn’t let go.” — Booklist
