商品簡介
Gwen Raine has it all: She's an attractive, thirtyish stay-at-home mom living in a tranquil community where everything seems right—yet so much can go wrong.
It's a typical Friday morning in late summer, and Gwen is anticipating a long-awaited weekend away at the lake with her overworked husband, Brian, and their two young children. After dropping off her daughter at swim class, Gwen drives across town to purchase a small bag of marijuana from Jude, an old boyfriend. On the way home, she gets into a car accident that leaves her bruised but the other driver dead. The local police can see the accident isn't her fault, but when they find the pot in Gwen's car, they throw the book at her. There have been problems with drugs in the schools, and the police are determined to crack down.
Meanwhile, Brian, a pharmaceutical company executive, is embroiled in an ethical dilemma over the marketing of a drug for "off-label" use. And Jude has gotten in way over his head with his little side business.
Told from multiple perspectives and driven by psychological suspense and an escalating plot, this ambitious and deeply satisfying novel examines the moral complications that arise when one's determination to do the right thing collides head-on with human fallibility and desire.
"Satisfying on many levels, not least in its moral ambiguity that lends complexity to a story well told. This is as much about a marriage as it is the unraveling of a suspenseful plot."—James Landis. author of The Last Day
"Warning: This is the kind of book that will keep you up at night, holding your breath as you turn the pages."—Sandi Kahn Shelton, author of Kissing Games of the World
