Temple, Pennsylvania, 1887. The Strohmeyer home falls silent except for the drip of blood. Isabella stands frozen, her father and stepmother hacked to death at her feet. Overnight, the family’s bitter secrets erupt into horror.
Whispers coil through the town. Suspicions shift like shadows. As rumors spread, everyone looks over their shoulder, wondering who will be accused next. When an arrest is made, the quiet streets of Temple give way to a trial that grips the nation, turning neighbor against neighbor.
Inspired by the infamous Lizzie Borden case, The Confession unearths the betrayals, secrets, and resentments festering beneath a close-knit community. One axe. Two murders. A courtroom packed with lies. And a truth that refuses to stay buried until the final page.
