When Walter Stackhouse, an architect with a passion for writing, stumbles across an article about the unsolved murder case of Helen Kimmel, the gradual descent into a pit of lies, betrayal, and guilt awaits him. More and more--as unhappily-married Walter seeks inspiration for his crime novel--he finds himself entangled in a thorny mystery, but without realizing that he's alienating himself from Clara. Now, before a precarious situation, morbid thoughts start flooding Walter's confused mind, as Clara's untimely death intertwines the two deaths that share a small but strange resemblance. As flimsy fabrications and inescapable contradictions multiply, who will be able to tell the difference between a liar and a murderer?
