When a New York Times reporter asks college professor Karen Pelletier to name the best novel of the 20th century, Pelletier mischievously names a long-out-of-print potboiler about a scandal in a small New England town. The accolade casts fresh light on the book and on its super-reclusive author. When a reporter is shot and killed on the author's farm, the author of course becomes the prime suspect. Pelletier, feeling guilty, vows to find out the truth about the killing. She travels to the small town where the novel is set and plunges into a real-life potboiler.
