Four people walk into the dining room that evening. One will never come out of it again.

Matthew: the absolutely perfect husband

Titus: the absolutely perfect son

Charlie: an absolutely perfect illusion

Rachel: complete stranger

Charlie didn't want Rachel in the book club. Matthew didn't listen to him.

And so Charlie finds himself collapsed next to his husband's body. Their son sits quietly at the dining room table while Rachel calls 911, still clutching the bloody knife.

This nerve-wracking noir family thriller, which combines a classic detective story with the style of Donna Tartt, weaves a vast web of mystery around the glamorous world of West London and a dinner that ends in death.
