About this book

Danny jumps from the fourth-floor window of their Newport, Long Island apartment in front of witnesses. Eighteen months later, his wife Erin is charged with his murder. Five years before his death, Erin moved to New York following a family tragedy. She had built a life with Danny, a detective, in the scenic seaside town. When police colleagues arrive at their door one morning, an ordinary day turns catastrophic as Danny jumps from the window behind her. During the year and a half between his death and her trial, Erin discovers truths about Danny that she never imagined. She believed he was perfect and their life was perfect. But everything was constructed on a lie.
