In 1927, a crime of passion occurred in a magnificent seaside mansion in a small eastern Connecticut town. Rock Cove was a community for the rich in the Gilded Age of the late 1800s into the early twentieth century, much like Newport and Watch Hill in Rhode Island. Although, as a community, it might never have achieved the same name recognition as the others, nor enjoyed their longevity, there were a few large and luxurious homes owned by wealthy families. For many years, this house was occupied by only one person, the widowed owner. Since her departure, the structure has stood unoccupied for some thirty-plus years. Yet a trust has paid the property taxes and the wages of a caretaker all these years. As a condition of the caretaker's employment, he cares for the grounds and exterior of the house but is forbidden to ever enter it. Now, the house has come on the market to be sold and a successful young couple from New York City are interested. Why is the asking price so low? The house appears from the outside to be in excellent condition with a sweeping view of the water. What secrets does the house possess? Why will it become the center of an investigation linked to that long ago tragedy once again? Why does the discovery of a body reopen an eighty-year-old investigation? Will it finally solve the unanswered questions surrounding the history of the house in Rock Cove?
