One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The book ends with the police inspector showing up to confront Theo about Alicia’s admission. After threatening Alicia with the knife and tying her up, Theo probably went and found it. As a result, he injects her with something to force her to overdose, and it puts her in a coma. Unbeknownst to Theo, Alicia records the events before losing consciousness in her diary, which is found by the police.

It’s not clear how exactly he knows where it is or how to find it. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....A therapist unravels the mind of a shattered woman ... who may be a murderer (or not).Oops!
