Book description
Jenny Cain would never forget the hot Massachusetts summer day fate
knocked at her door. Fate was a teenaged boy with rumpled clothes, a
motorcycle, and a shocking but credible story: Jenny's husband, Geof,
was his biological father. The boy, David Mayer, wasn't looking for an
emotional reunion, but he did have an agenda. His
parents
-- and he was quick to make the point that Geof was nothing to him --
died earlier in the year, a murder/suicide according to the police. The
cops were wrong, David said, and Geof was a cop, and he owed it to David
to prove that Ron Mayer did not kill his invalid wife and then
himself.
As David lured Jenny and Geof to carefully placed clues,
including two bizarre videotaped confessions of "sin,"
another murder was committed. And Jenny knew that no matter what the
truth was about David Mayer's parents, her own life and marriage would
be altered forever....
