Paul Graves knows evil to the bone. He confronted it first as a boy, when he witnessed the torture and murder of his sister. As a man he constantly relives evil, tirelessly writing mysteries set in gaslight New York, a world coloured by his own past. It is a far cry from Riverwood, the artists' community in upstate New York where Graves is invited to spend the summer.
And yet for all its beauty and isolation, Riverwood was once touched by crime - the murder of Faye Harrison, a teenage girl who had lived on the estate fifty years before. When Graves is asked to investigate the murder it is more than just the exploration of a long-past crime: he must apply the art of mystery fiction to the murder, then write a story that will enable Faye's mother finally to find peace.
