Sixteen-year-old Cora Cadieux is brilliant. She is a coauthor on multiple chemistry papers, an innovative pioneer in theoretical mathematics, and the recipient of dozens of academic awards. So when Cora is diagnosed with terminal cancer, her hometown of Espoire is devastated- and Cora's stepfather becomes once more responsible for her care. When Sylvie Stein, a young reporter from the Skybrook Gazette, is inexplicably summoned to Cora's home for an exclusive new scoop, she soon finds herself confronted with nothing but questions. Why is the housekeeper so unceasingly cheerful, even in the face of Cora's illness? What secrets is Cora's stepsister hiding behind her serene, unwavering face? Why, even after Sylvie's warm welcome, does no one seem to know who she is? And, most importantly... why murder someone who's already dying?
