A death, a lie, a secret. For twenty-six summers he didnt have the courage to face the past. Lee Hanjo is an artist at the peak of his fame, envied and celebrated. Then, on his forty-third birthday, he awakens to find that his devoted wife has disappeared, leaving behind a soon-to-be-published novel shed secretly written about the sordid past and questionable morality of an artist with a trajectory similar to Hanjos. Its clear to him that his life is about to shatter and the demons from his past will come out. But why did his wife do it? Why now?The book forces Hanjo to reflect on a summer from his youth when a deadly lie irreversibly and tragically determined the fates of two families. From master storyteller J. M.

Everyone still left standing from that terrible summer so long ago must finally reckon with the deceptions that started it all and, twist after shocking twist, reap both the suffering and the vindication that comes with revenge.
