English Summary/英文概要： Amanda Clarke is dead.
Her body was found floating face down by the riverbank, and no one knows what happened. As rumours fly and fear grows, it seems that everyone suspects Lyndon, one of Amanda’s friends. He’s known for his temper, his cruelty and his criminal family – and now the police want to talk to him.
It’s the end of summer, the heat is enough to melt asphalt and a sleepy riverside suburb is losing some of its innocence. Fifteen-year-old Winter went to the same school and hung out in the same places as Amanda. As she finds herself alone in trying to defend Lyndon, Winter learns that you can never really know someone – and the answers she has been looking for are closer than she has ever wanted to believe.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 阿曼达.克拉克死了。
面孔向下，她的尸体毫无生息地漂浮在河岸边上。没有人知道究竟发生了什么。霎时间，流言四起，人心惶惶，人们纷纷将嫌疑的目光投向了阿曼达的朋友，林登的身上。林登为人性格暴躁，再加上他拥有前科的家庭背景，自然而然，警方很快便找上了门来。
当时正值1973年的夏末，酷暑炎炎足以将沥青融化，而就在这样的氛围之中，这所依偎在河畔旁的小镇却因为阿曼达的死而渐渐失去了其原本的宁静。和死者一样，十五岁的温特也就读于同样的学校，出没于同样的场所。可她是唯一一个相信林登清白的人，就在为他辩护的过程当中，温特渐渐懂得了何为人心难测 – 而更加不曾料想到的是，一直以来所找寻着的真相，尽然距离自己如此之近。
