Police chief Cameron McDonald faces the toughest arrest of his life when his own cousin, Jamie, confesses to killing his terminally ill wife out of mercy. The ensuing murder trial plunges the small Massachusetts town into upheaval and drives a wedge between Cameron and his devoted wife, Allie. Cameron aids the prosecution, while Allie finds herself sympathetic to Jamie, seduced by the idea of a man so in love with his wife he would grant her wish to end her life. The moral conflict escalates into a shocking betrayal when Cameron develops an inexplicable attraction to Allie's new assistant. The novel explores the boundaries of love, loyalty, moral obligation, and the complex issues surrounding euthanasia.
