Description: "On Friday night, Anita and Benno were sitting on the front stoop of their Manhattan apartment building, necking like teenagers. By Monday afternoon, Benno was the prime suspect in the murder of their babysitter, Ellen Chapman.".

"Benno had walked the young, black Columbia student back to her new apartment, helped her fix a bookshelf, and then returned home. When Ellen didn't show up on Monday to pick up the Servi's adopted daughter, Clea, Anita went to Ellen's apartment. That's when she found the body, stabbed with a screwdriver that Benno had given her. And so the questions began: Was he having an affair with the young woman? Why would he kill her?

And why, everyone around her wanted to know, did Anita refuse to accept the evidence: Benno was a man; men have affairs. Benno was the last person known to have been with Ellen. His fingerprints were on the murder weapon. It was so clear. And to make it worse, Anita began to discover some things on her own, things that didn't make sense. Answering the questions about his possible guilt as a murderer was only part of the problem now; what about his guilt as a husband...?".

"Anita had to clear Benno's name and free herself of the fear not only that he might have murdered someone but that she might not know him at all."--BOOK JACKET.
