In a New York courtroom, a woman stands accused of a controversial crime. Genny Haviland is said to have murdered legendary painter George Gabriel. For two decades the tempestuous Gabriel had challenged audiences with his wild work. And in the end, the prosecution claims, he alienated the woman he first seduced, then enslaved - enough to cause his own death at her hands.
Yet in Genny's mind there rests another story, one that started twenty years before . . . one in which a college girl on summer break met an older, attractive artist - and began a forbidden affair she would never forget, a shadowy, sensual union in which she was more helpless and more powerful than she would ever imagine.
Genny maintains she was only easing her old lover to a painless death, allowing him to escape the awful illness that was slowly eroding his sanity and self. But is this the whole truth? Or was Gabriel indeed killed - but for far more sordid reasons, a motive driven by scandal and the threat of financial ruin? How much would Genny do for the man she professed to love?
