Her refusal to talk turns a domestic tragedy into a massive public mystery, casting Alicia into infamy and landing her at The Grove, a secure forensic unit. Enter Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the chance to work with her. Theo is determined to unravel the mystery of why she killed her husband and what secrets are locked behind her silence, but his obsession with uncovering the truth takes him down a dark, twisted path that threatens to consume him.
