Angela’s unusual and horrible secret will not completely unfold until the very end of this page-turner. As the story explodes in the media and on the internet, Angela’s reaction is a bit different than one might expect: “How long could Jason’s 'scandal' make the rounds before someone started to wonder why his wife kept such a low profile?” Why, indeed. A second line of narration follows Detective Corinne Duncan as she investigates the complaint, which blows up a few days later when a second woman comes forward with a much more serious accusation. Then comes the fly in the ointment, an intern named Rachel who files a complaint at the NYPD Special Victims Unit claiming that Jason made inappropriate sexual suggestions at the office.
