Mr. Peanut

After thirteen years of marriage, David Pepin still deeply loves his wife, Alice - yet he obsessively contemplates her demise. Soon she is dead, and David is both profoundly distraught and the prime suspect. The detectives investigating Alice's suspicious death have plenty of experience with marital enigmas: Ward Hastroll and his wife are happily married, until she inexplicably becomes voluntarily bedridden; and Sam Sheppard is especially sensitive to marital guilt, having decades before been convicted and then exonerated of the brutal murder of his wife. These interlocking dramas pose a host of arresting questions. Is it possible to know anyone completely? Are murder and marriage two sides of the same coin? And what, in the end, is the truth about love?
