Description
A contemporary newspaper photographer, Jean, finds herself drawn into the dark history of a sensational 1873 ax murder, a case that eerily mirrors a recent brutal crime. As she delves into the past, Jean uncovers a hidden eyewitness account that promises to shed light on the long-ago tragedy. Simultaneously, her own life becomes entangled in a web of jealousy and suspicion, mirroring the very historical events she is investigating. This richly textured novel masterfully interweaves past and present, exploring themes of obsession, betrayal, and the enduring echoes of violence across time.
