Murder is murder no matter the age or era in which it occurs, but in 1981 in the posh suburbs of Philadelphia, better known as the Main Line, murder takes a surprising turn. The stench of class separation, and the boredom and hubris of the rich mix together in a tale that not only exposes a weird side of privileged perspective; it gives the reader a trip through the power labyrinth of a moneyed class who just might kill to keep boredom at bay. Bizarre acts of revenge and the torture of a violent past tangle together two love stories. The lives of a murder victim's wife and a young, female detective intertwine to turn their hopes and ambitions upside down ..... and keep the reader guessing.
