Set against the backdrop of a sensational 1906 murder case, the narrative follows the trial of Chester Gillette, accused of killing Grace Brown, whose body was discovered in Big Moose Lake. The trial captivated the public as love letters revealed their tumultuous relationship, leading to Gillette's conviction and execution. The author meticulously researched the case, using newspaper clippings, and crafted the character Clyde Griffiths with a direct connection to Gillette, sharing the same initials and embodying the complexities of guilt and desire.
