Publisher's Synopsis
Frank Montgomery and his family love their life in the placid suburb of Lake View. Members of the seven households surrounding the lake form an extended family. They occasionally play practical jokes on each other. However, the harmless pranks suddenly turn ugly, and very personal. Feelings are hurt, alliances form, and fingers are pointed. Then, the suspected perpetrator, Vernon Richey, is brutally murdered. While investigating the crime for the local newspaper, Frank discovers that many of his neighbors harbor secrets that, if revealed, would damage their reputations or incriminate them. Did someone kill Vernon to protect a secret he had uncovered? Or, is there a puppet master in the neighborhood, attempting to implicate the others while hiding his or her own motive? How long will the killer tolerate Frank's snooping? Secrets reveals a dark side of suburbia. It's enough to make you wonder about your neighbors. Who are they really? What are they up to? Are you watching them? Are they watching you?
