On a sweltering summer night, a woman is murdered in her hospital bed in New York City. Almost a thousand miles away, Midwestern University professor Beth Austin is leading a class through the complete works of Charles Dickens. The framework that connects this tale of two cities begins to unfold when Beth learns something she never could have imagined: forty years ago, her mother was involved in a treacherous love triangle at the University of Chicago.
