Riassunto

Claire and her longtime boyfriend, Dante, are still mostly long-distance lovers, but in that corner things seem to be looking up. Dante is in line for the position of head curator of a new wing in Portland's art museum. His final interview, which will be preceded by a gala dinner party, is coming up in a few days. And then coincidence threatens their hopes.
While out jogging one morning, Claire finds a triple-diamond ring, hidden in the chink of a fifty-year-old stone wall. When she shows the ring to Charlie, her elderly housemate, expecting surprise, what she gets is alarm.
The story comes out in a rush of remembrance. Fifty years earlier, the triple diamond had been the engagement ring of a young woman friend of Charlie's. Her fiance was the son of the family who lives in the house enclosed by the stone wall. But when the young man returned from the Korean War, she broke the engagement. And then hung herself.
While looking into signs of the past and old newspaper stories, Claire begins to sense a crime behind the half-century-old tragedy. She and Charlie, enlisting the memories of some of Charlie's aged friends, try to unearth what really happened.
