A student goes missing, Charles Meredith, her history professor, is the prime suspect, and Lotte Graham, reeling from the shock of her husband’s betrayal, is caught right in the middle.

As Charles Meredith researches a Victorian crime of passion, he finds himself under constant police scrutiny, the web of evidence closing in tightly around him.

As Lotte Graham struggles to find a way through her husband’s deceit, juggling two small children and no money, she wonders what on earth to do next.

But a passionate bond ties these two together and as Charles searches for her to give him his alibi, she in turn leads him to a voice that speaks from a watery grave.
