“This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you don’t hate us too much… My son recently broke into your house while you were out…”

In a quiet, leafy suburb of upstate New York, a teenager was sneaking into homes—and onto the owners' computers—and learning their secrets, and maybe even spilling some of them.

Who is he? And what did he discover? After receiving two anonymous letters, whispers begin to spread, and suspicions mount. And when a neighbor is found murdered, tensions reach breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they're letting on? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their secrets?

In this neighborhood, it's not just husbands and wives who play games. Here, every family member has something to hide...

You really don't know what people can do.
