    Summary

    January 13, 1911, Charlottetown.

    Gilbert Blythe, a 30-year-old medical examiner, and his police brother Sebastian Lacroix are assigned to investigate the murder of Anne Shirley, a famous theatre teacher and director of Canada's most prestigious art school. A disfigured and unidentifiable body has been found in the office of the young woman, adored and coveted by high society.Several people in Anne Shirley's entourage are suspected: Royal Gardener, her best friend, a journalist who helped her make a name for herself in high society; Charlie Sloane, her well-born but penniless and somewhat devoid of humanity fiancé. The officers can count on the help of Marilla Cuthbert and Susan Baker, the school's adoptive mother and housekeeper respectively.

    Gilbert finds himself increasingly disturbed by the case, especially by the large portrait of Anne in her office, causing him to develop feelings, even an obsession, for this woman he knows only through a painting and the words of those who knew her.

    But what if an unexpected outcome changed the course of the story? And who was actually Anne Shirley?
