DON'T READ IT... if you can bear to live without knowing.

READ IT... if you can bear to live knowing.

A walnut, a not so well-sharpened pencil, a chicken thigh bone, an old mop, and a page of paper, carefully cut from a book that has always existed on the bookshelf but never been read by anyone. An island with six hours of high tide and six hours of low tide. A Jewish family spending twenty years locked in a basement. And a broken woman who claims to have killed her family.

Inspector Rupert Killer, together with his partner Daniela Tso, takes on the most enigmatic case of their career at the same time he is forced to battle his greatest demon of all: himself; and the destructive acts that someone takes care to remind him of.

Every prohibition hides the illusion of choice. Don’t love. Don’t trust. Don’t believe that the world you knew is over. Don’t think you can escape.

DON'T READ IT...
