Alicia Berenson's life is perfect. A successful artist and a happy wife, she lives in a big house in the best part of London. Until one night she puts five bullets in the face of her husband. No explanation, no excuse - for the next six years Alicia will not utter not a word. Psychotherapist Theo Faber is convinced that he will be able to uncover the mystery of the crime and cure Alicia. But the reasons for her silence are hidden much deeper than he thought. And if she does speak, will the doctor want to hear the truth?
