"I was fourteen when I fell in love with a goddess. . ."
So begins the testimony of Noah Calaway, an ex-lawyer
with a sideline in armchair criminal psychology. Now
living an aimless life in an inherited cottage in the
English countryside, Noah is haunted by the memory of the
beguiling young woman who left him at the altar sixteen
years earlier. Then one day he receives a troubling phone
call. April, the woman he once loved, lies in a coma, the
victim of an apparent overdose--and the lead suspect in a
brutal murder. Deep in his bones, Noah believes that
April is innocent. Then again, he also believed they
would spend the rest of their lives together.
While Noah searches for evidence that will clear April's
name, a teenager named Ella begins to sift through the
secrets of her own painful family history. The same age
as April was when Noah first met her, Ella harbors a
revelation that could be the key to solving the murder.
As the two stories converge, there are shocking
consequences when at last, the truth emerges.
