Things like this don’t happen to people like us. That’s what Lachlan Harriot thinks as he watches his wife, Susie, led to jail in handcuffs. Yes, Susie, a psychologist, was found covered in blood near the spot where one of her clients appears to have been murdered. But Susie is not a killer, Lachlan thinks. She’s my wife. She’s our child’s mother. Secrets lurk behind closed doors, however, a dark truth made chillingly clear as Lachlan’s efforts to prove Susie’s innocence uncover an entire secret history — illicit affairs, false identities, unimaginable deception — and this brilliantly acclaimed, page-turning novel speeds toward a conclusion as shocking as it is ingenious.
