A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, Alica Berenson lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Her refusal to talk or give any kind of explanation captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist, begins a search for the truth that leads him down a terrifying path-- and threatens to consume him. -- adapted from back cover |
