Good Condition - Covers are scuffed and marked, with edge rubbing, corner creases and slight curl; a retail sticker remains on the back.

Alicia Berenson appears to have a successful life as an artist and a happy marriage, until she shoots her husband Gabriel and stops speaking. Her refusal to explain the violence turns the case into a mystery that fascinates forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber. Convinced he can reach her where others have failed, Theo seeks the opportunity to work with Alicia and begins investigating the relationships and experiences that preceded the killing. The deeper he goes, the more his determination threatens to become an obsession of its own. Alex Michaelides's psychological thriller follows a search for the truth through silence, memory and carefully maintained appearances, asking what lies behind an apparently inexplicable act and who is ready to hear the answer.
