Description

When Linda Wallheim, the wife of a Mormon bishop in suburban Utah, discovers the body of a young woman, she cannot accept the easy explanations surrounding the death. Her search for answers draws her into a tightly knit community where faith, family, and reputation conceal painful secrets. As Linda navigates questions of loyalty, justice, and the roles expected of women within her church, she confronts the troubling possibility that danger may be closer than anyone realizes. Thought-provoking and suspenseful, the novel combines a compelling mystery with a nuanced exploration of belief, power, and domestic life.
