"Every novel of Margot Livesey's is, for her readers, a joyous discovery. Her work radiates with compassion and intelligence and always, deliciously, mystery" - Alice Sebold
Zeke is twenty-nine. He has the face of angel, but keeps to himself and finds people very difficult. Then Verona walks into his life. She's older, plainer and pregnant, and at once Zeke falls headlong into love. But suddenly Verona disappears, leaving only a cryptic message that suggests she's in danger. In his quest to find her, Zeke is lured from London to Boston and into a disturbing world of half-truths, shadowy threats and broken promises, until he is forced to choose between risking all for love - or banishing Verona from his life forever.
"For her keen wit and wise heart, for her mingling of the tender with the diabolical - never mind her knack for holding the reader in thrall to a suspenseful story - she is a master, pure and simple" - Julia Glass, author of Three Junes
"Margot Livesey is a writer at the pinnacle of her craft" - Los Angeles Times
