French ex-pat Tristan Mourault is the prosperous, urbane heir to a world-renowned collection of art work - and an insatiable voyeur enamored with Karen Miller, a 15-year-old from a working-class family in San Francisco. Deciding he must 'save' Karen from her unhappy circumstances, Tristan kidnaps her and levels her fatality to face mask his true crime. Years later, Karen is now Gisele, and the pair leads an opulent life in idyllic and rarefied Devon, Washington. But when Nicola, Gisele's young daughter, stumbles after a key cache of paintings - all nudes of Gisele - Tristan's carefully designed world starts to crumble. As Nicola grapples with the tragedy that follows, she crosses pathways with Amanda Miller, who comes to Devon to research the portraits' uncanny resemblance to her long-lost sister. Set against a byzantine backdrop of greed, artifice, and dangerous manipulations, this can be an intoxicating debut that keeps its darkest secrets until the very last page.
