“I’ll be dead in three months. Come tell my story.”
When reclusive mystery author Sebastian Trapp invites detective fiction expert Nicky Hunter to his San Francisco mansion, she expects literary intrigue—not a real-life mystery. Living among Trapp’s glamorous but fractious family, Nicky uncovers unsettling truths: twenty years ago, Trapp’s wife and son vanished without a trace. Did the perfect crime writer commit the perfect crime?
As Nicky dives deeper into Sebastian’s life, his protective daughter Madeleine begins questioning her father’s innocence. Then a body surfaces in the koi pond, and the stakes turn deadly. What secrets does this family harbor, and why is the past clawing its way back now?
The truth may kill them all—or reveal a crime too perfect to forget.
