Gwyn Sanders thought she knew her sister Kelly until she discovered the letter. In the Colorado mountain town of Glenwood Springs, the artist and photographer uncovers Kelly's final confession after a fatal hit and run. Kelly had been sleeping with Gwyn's boyfriend and feared for her life. Now both Gwyn and her surviving sister Linda have married those same men, making either husband a potential killer. The sisters had inherited substantial money before meeting these boyfriends, yet they know almost nothing about the men's pasts. Gwyn loves her husband deeply, as does Linda, but the truth demands investigation. Kelly's letter points to sexual entanglements and mortal danger, but the killer's identity remains murky. Was it one of the husbands, another former lover, or someone else entirely? With a skilled private detective as her ally, Gwyn pursues answers through a web of suspects where everyone harbors secrets and danger lurks at every turn.
