Shari Lapena (Canada, 1960) was a lawyer before devoting herself to writing and becoming a sales phenomenon regularly featured on the Sunday Times and The New York Times bestseller lists.

With delicacy, in this novel she explores the destruction caused by lies, infidelity, and deceit. A master of the domestic thriller, she offers an unpredictable work that maintains suspense until the final twist. It features a host of good characters doing bad things that are described as sinful, who talk about hell, who pray… but always from a Protestant perspective.
