A celebrated true-crime novelist retreats to a Northern California house linked to a notorious double murder, hoping its dark history will inspire his next book.

A haunting, intricately layered literary thriller, the novel explores the ethics of storytelling, the seduction of violence, and the elusive nature of truth. With its shifting perspectives and unsettling atmosphere, it offers a provocative examination of how we turn real suffering into narrative.
