A woman is killed, another disappears, and the truth of what happened slips through the cracks of time. Tensions simmer and one hot afternoon a gun-shot rings out.

The truth about that summer, no one else knows. From the bestselling author of The House at Riverton and The Secret Keeper, Kate Morton brings us her trademark mix of secrets, lies, and intricately layered mysteries in her sixth novel, The Clockmaker's Daughter.
