That summer, there were four of them, all on the cusp of adulthood. When the group learned that a diamond necklace, stolen fifty years ago, might still be somewhere on the manor grounds, the Game - half treasure hunt, half friendly deception - begins. But the Game becomes much bigger than the necklace, growing to encompass years of secrets, lies, and, ultimately, one terrible betrayal. Decades later, one of them is thrust back to that summer - with all of its frantic energy, yearning, and loss-and the mysteries that still haven't been solved.
