A beautiful October morning in the not-so-prosperous town of Copper Falls is overshadowed by tragedy - the local landfill is on fire, the town outcast, Lizzie Ouellette, is dead, and her husband is missing. The investigation takes detective Ian Bird from a small town in Maine to a luxurious city mansion several hours away. Adrienne Richards, a blogger and the wife of a billionaire, has rented a tiny lake house for a country getaway... although Copper Falls is anything but a resort town. A novel in which the destinies of two women become intertwined with each other, and their relationship transcends all boundaries: businesslike, complicated and finally fatal. At least for one of them. And while the detective is investigating, Lizzie Ouellette tells us the story as it unfolds from her side.
