Cora Bender killed a man on a sunny summer afternoon by the lake and in full view of her family and friends.  Why?  What could have caused this quiet, lovable young mother to stab a stranger in the throat, again and again, until she was pulled off his body?  For the local police it was an open-and-shut case.  Cora confessed; there was no shortage of witnesses.  But Police Commissioner Rudolf Grovian refused to close the file and started his own maverick investigation.  So begins the slow unravelling of Cora's past, a harrowing descent into a woman's private hell.
