John Waters is a successful petroleum geologist with the perfect family. Then one day his world is turned inside out by a single word spoken from the lips of a beautiful stranger. That word, "Soon . . ." sends him hurtling back in time, to a past he has never quite forgotten: the most passionate affair of his life.
Mallory Candler was the quintessential Southern Belle. But her captivating beauty and intelligence hid a dark side that only John Waters was allowed to see. When her seething passion threatened to destroy them both, he ended their affair. But Mallory never stopped trying to reconcile with Waters until the day she was found raped and murdered on a New Orleans pier.
Now, ten years after her death, a woman named Eve Sumner appears, bearing not just Mallory's smile, but also secrets only Mallory herself could know. Convinced by his best friend that he imagined the first incident, Waters attends a party and crosses paths with Eve Sumner again. She squeezes his wrist and whispers: "You're not imagining anything John. It's me. Call me." His blood runs cold.
A swarm of secrets, lies and murder is about to explode in a novel where the boundaries between passion, obsession and love are stretched beyond their limits.
