A newspaper photographer， Jean， researches the lurid and sensational ax murder of two women in 1873 as an editorial tie-in with a brutal modern double murder. (Can you guess which one?) She discovers a cache of papers that appear to give an account of the murders by an eyewitness. The plot weaves between the narrative of the eyewitness and Jean s private struggle with jealousies and suspicions as her marriage teeters. A rich， textured novel.
