Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, he had security and wealth and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more -- he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic.
 
the beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone -- raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances -- and Ig was the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, he was and always would be guilty.
 
But now Ig can hear people's deepest darkest secrets and means to use this ability to find whoever killed Merrin.
 
It's time for a little revenge.
 
It's time the devil had his due.
