En la apacible comunidad de Riverwood, Allison Davies transforma su propiedad en un refugio para escritores y artistas. Sin embargo, este lugar paradisíaco guarda un oscuro secreto: el asesinato sin resolver de Faye Harrison, la mejor amiga de Allison, ocurrido cincuenta años atrás. Decidida a desentrañar el misterio que truncó su felicidad, Allison contrata a Paul Graves, un renombrado escritor de novelas policiacas. Paul, conocido por sus personajes tenebrosos, acepta la propuesta y se sumerge en la investigación, dispuesto a asumir el papel de uno de sus personajes de ficción. A medida que Graves profundiza en el caso, se enfrenta a los fantasmas de su propio pasado, descubriendo los rincones que esconden la verdad detrás del crimen.
Thomas Cook was the founder of the travel agency Thomas Cook & Son. He was born into a poor family in Derbyshire and left school at the age of ten to start work as a gardener's boy. He served an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker before becoming an itinerant Baptist preacher. He was a supporter of the temperance movement and his first foray into tourism was a railway excursion to Loughborough for members of the Leicester Temperance Society in 1841. Following the success of this excursion, Cook, by now settled with his family in Leicester, began to organise tours further afield in the British Isles and, eventually, to the United States, Egypt and the Holy Land. In 1872, he went into business with his son as Thomas Cook & Son, with a head office in London. Following his retirement in 1878, he returned to Leicester and took an interest in the Baptist church and charitable work until his death. Cook is credited with having, through his all-inclusive tours, made travel and tourism accessible to a wider public.
