What this book is about
Two women are found strangled together in the studio of a London artist — and one of the dead women is the wife of Dr. Kristian Beck, a close friend of Hester Monk. William Monk is hired to find the truth, even as the evidence seems to point inescapably at Beck himself. The twelfth William Monk novel is an anguished investigation into obsession, identity, and the betrayal that lives inside marriage.
