  Scandal forces Maria Posaltakis out of her job as a celebrity reporter. The paparazzi blacklists her, but media mogul Mark Bannerman takes her under his wing, intent on making Maria the newest addition to his politically-charged network AmeriPress News. 
  He brings her to Isla Loci, his private resort, to personally train her on sticking to the channel's message. Then Chester, Mark's youngest son from a failed marriage, comes to the island. He's a moody, overweight bookish type who's just graduated from college and hates his father with an intense passion. 
  • What mistake could be so heinous as to get Maria ostracized from an industry that makes questionable journalism calls every day? 
  • What are Mark's intentions towards Maria? Did he really hire her purely for her skill or does he want something more intimate? 
  • How will Chester respond to his father's interest in Maria? Is Chester interested in Maria? What else is Chester interested in... and how could it spell trouble for Mark's empire? 
  Against the backdrop of a tropical paradise, a family conflict is brewing. Maria has to choose a side - the man who gave her a chance but with questionable motive, or his idealistic young son whose naïveté may be his doom. What of Maria's own motives? What will she do to get back into the news world's good graces? How far will she go to keep from being Trapped in Margins, unable to be herself in a world all about finding out other people's secrets?

  Does Lieutenant Vera Backland lust for her suspect? Has she plotted revenge for her lover? 
  Go on a journey through this story to find out who might've been the actual killer and who might've been manipulated to think that they're the murderer. 
  On the night of January 20, Lieutenant Vera Backland visits her favorite bar and sees a man who attracts her in an unusual way. A few hours later she visits a strange crime scene, in Sleepy Hollow. But Vera is not at her best; the disappearance of someone close to her has wreaked havoc on her psyche and she knows she's not one hundred percent ready to lead the new Complex Crimes Bureau in New York City. 
  Along with her partner Luke Faller, she must find the murderer before he continues to claim more victims, guided by the play The Divine Comedy and by the classification he has made of sinners. 
  Vera doubts everything and everyone. Even from herself, and for this she asks for help from her psychiatrist Alan Holt and her former tutor Clarence Perkins. She must not only understand the killer's mind but her own. With a vast criminal imagination and a new erotic imagination, Vera must come to terms with the shadows she carries before the shadows consume her.
