The gruesome find makes stunning headlines, especially so for the previous occupants.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A decade before, nineteen-year-old Adam Verne-Smith inherited the property and spent one debauched summer there with runaways, drifters, and his two best friends—none of whom have spoken since that fatal season. Adam is now a doting father and husband. His old buddy Rufus is a respectable doctor. And there’s Shiva, whose dreams of upward mobility drifted away. Unhinged by the discovery, they reunite, each with a protest of innocence. As the past slowly emerges, their regrets, desperation, and bitter incriminations get the best of them—and so will their secrets.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A master of “deep, disquieting insight into the pathological dynamics of love” (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e), author Ruth Rendell’s Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger Award–winning \u003ci\u003eA Fatal Inversion\u003c\/i\u003e is “rife with lost Edens, family secrets and stifled sexual urges” (\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e).
