The Perfect Crime Scene
Sarah Morgan has it all-a brilliant career as a criminal defense attorney, a luxurious Tudor mansion in D.C.'s elite Kalorama neighborhood, and a handsome novelist husband named Adam. Their tenth wedding anniversary should be a celebration of success and love, but instead becomes the catalyst for revealing deadly secrets. The tension between them is palpable during breakfast as Sarah types emails while Adam stares at his cooling coffee. Though she's canceled their anniversary trip to their lake house to prepare for the high-profile Henderson murder case, she gives him an extravagant Patek Philippe watch engraved with "5,256,000"-the number of minutes in ten years of marriage. The gesture speaks volumes about her approach to romance: mathematically precise, materially generous, but emotionally distant. Their relationship has evolved dramatically since their Duke University days, where they fell in love as literature and political science students. While Sarah has achieved her dream of becoming a top attorney with a seven-figure salary, Adam's writing career peaked with his first book. His subsequent novels flopped spectacularly, creating a power imbalance that has become the perfect breeding ground for resentment-and infidelity.
