When Claire was only seven years old, her college-age sister, Alison, was murdered on the Caribbean island of Saint X. Two local men were arrested but later released, and the lurid, unsolved mystery became tabloid news. Years later, while Claire is living and working in New York City, she has a brief but fateful encounter with Clive Richardson, one of the original suspects in her sister's murder. It sets her on an obsessive quest to find out what happened the night of Alison's death and also to discover who her sister really was. As Claire shadows Clive, hoping to gain his trust and waiting for a slip that will reveal the truth, an unlikely attachment develops between them--two people whose lives were forever marked by the same tragedy.
