*The New York Times Book Review**
Aidan Poole logs on to his laptop late at night to Skype his girlfriend, Zoe. To his horror, he realizes that there is someone else in her flat. Aidan can only listen to the sounds of a violent struggle taking place in the bathroomโand then the sound of silence. He is desperate to find out if Zoe is okay. But then why is he so hesitant to call the police?
When Aidanโs cryptic messages finally reach them, Detective Chief Inspector Jonah Sheens and his team take the caseโand discover the body. They soon find that no one has a bad word to say about Zoe, a big hearted young artist at the center of a curious web of waifs and strays, each relying on her for support, each hiding dark secrets and buried resentments. Has one of her so-called โfriendsโ been driven to murder? Or does Aidan have the biggest secret of them all?
