Lippman, Laura  
  
  
    They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville
 Delaware. Polly is set on heading west. Adam says he's also passing through. Yet she stays and he stays
 drawn to this mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness both unnerves and excites him. Over the course of a punishing summer
 Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy
 inexorable affair. Still
 each holds something back from the other
 dangerous
 even lethal
 secrets. Then someone dies. Was it an accident
 or part of a plan? By now
 Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each other's lives and lies that neither one knows how to get away
 or even if they want to. Is their love strong enough to withstand the truth
 or will it ultimately destroy them? Something
 or someone
 has to give. Which one will it be?
