Mary Heaton is a very respectable woman. Everyone knows that. Widowed and retired, she lives a quiet life and keeps herself to herself. And then one day an anonymous letter arrives, threatening to expose a dark secret from Mary's past.

Many years ago, Mary and her husband Donald were very different people. They told people their sudden fortune came from a clothing company, but the truth was far more sordid. In fact Mary and Donald were, for a time, involved in an industry where clothes were very much not required. Eventually they got out, and they thought they'd managed to outrun their former lives. Now, however, someone is determined to reveal the truth about what really happened to them... and to a girl named Sarah Cole.

Setting out to unmask her tormentor, Mary has to face her own past. And when she finally uncovers the identity of the letter-writer, she realizes just how much damage and pain lurks beneath the surface of her respectable life.
