Laura Lippman returns with a superb novel about a pair of lovers with the best intentions and the worst luck: two people locked in a passionate yet uncompromising game of cat and mouse. But instead of rules, this game has dark secrets, forbidden desires, inevitable betrayals—and cold-blooded murder.One is playing a long game. But which one?
They meet at a tavern in a small Delaware town. Polly is set on heading west. Adam says he’s also passing through. Yet she stays. And he stays—drawn to the mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness unnerves and excites him. Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, in-exorable affair. Still, each holds something back from the other—dangerous, even lethal, secrets.
Then someone dies. Was it an accident, or part of a plan? By now, Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each other’s lives and lies that neither one knows how to get away—or even if they want to. Is their love strong enough to withstand the truth, or will it destroy them?
Something—or someone—has to give.
Which one will it be?
