  • In
  • the
  • waning
  • days
  • of
  • a
  • lazy
  • August
  • holiday,
  • Ellie
  • Stone
  • is
  • enjoying
  • a
  • bright
  • Adirondack-lake
  • morning.
  • Nearby,
  • two
  • men
  • plummet
  • to
  • their
  • deaths
  • just
  • a
  • few
  • feet
  • short
  • of
  • the
  • water
  • of
  • a
  • dangerous
  • diving
  • pool.
  • A
  • tragic
  • accident,
  • it
  • seems.
  • But
  • the
  • police
  • quickly
  • establish
  • that
  • the
  • two
  • victims—one
  • a
  • stranger
  • to
  • the
  • lake
  • and
  • the
  • other
  • a
  • teenaged
  • boy
  • from
  • a
  • nearby
  • music
  • camp—surely
  • didn’t
  • know
  • each
  • other.
  • So
  • how
  • did
  • they
  • come
  • to
  • die
  • together?
  • Wading
  • into
  • a
  • slippery
  • morass
  • of
  • free-love
  • intellectuals
  • and
  • charismatic
  • evangelicals,
  • Ellie’s
  • investigation
  • forces
  • her
  • to
  • navigate
  • old
  • grudges
  • and
  • cold
  • war
  • passions,
  • lost
  • ideals
  • and
  • betrayed
  • loves.
  • As
  • usual,
  • she
  • sticks
  • her
  • nose
  • where
  • it’s
  • unwanted,
  • rattling
  • nerves
  • and
  • putting
  • herself
  • in
  • jeopardy.
  • But
  • this
  • time
  • it’s
  • her
  • heart
  • that’s
  • also
  • at risk.
