Synopsis: A wealthy woman&’s death in a picturesque corner of Connecticut pulls her down-on-his-luck handyman into a sprawling criminal underworld . . . Awakened in the night by a mysterious and alarming call, handyman Jed Cooper rushes to the stately home of his employer, an emotionally fragile choreographer who has secluded herself in Connecticut&’s Litchfield Hills. But it&’s too late. She&’s dead and a shadowy figure has bolted into the darkness. Just in time for the cops to show up and find Jed standing over her body. Jed may be innocent but he can&’t help feeling some haunting stirrings of guilt—after all, she&’d been acting even more skittish than usual in recent days. Thanks to his sketchy past he prefers to stay as far from trouble as he can get. But he&’s already entangled in this murder case, and as the fallout mounts, this twisty tale moves from Manhattan&’s Little Italy to Miami and beyond as the truth slowly comes to light . . .
