About this ebook

Richard est son patron...
Elle lui a donné sa lettre de démission le matin même.

Il est aussi son amant...
... elle vient de rompre avec lui.

Il la harcèle au téléphone, promet qu’il va quitter sa femme pour elle...
... Pour fuir ses appels obsédants, elle part faire un jogging dans la nuit brumeuse de Shepherd Island...

Il revient chez elle. Une toute dernière fois. Car quand elle le découvre, il a été sauvagement poignardé...
Aux yeux de tous, Miranda est présumée coupable. Tout la désigne comme la meurtrière : sa liaison houleuse avec Richard, l’arme du crime, mais aussi, et peut-être surtout, le testament laissé par son amant en faveur de sa maîtresse...
