Seven years ago, Dr. Claire Bennett told the police that Emma Whitmore had four therapy sessions with her.
That was a lie. There were five.
The fifth happened at Claire's kitchen table, late one rainy night. She had brought her frightened patient home to keep her safe. That night, she kept Emma's secret. The next morning, she drove her out of Illinois.
Now Emma's husband, Chicago developer Daniel Whitmore, has been found dead at the bottom of his stairs. Emma is back in the city. And an email arrives in Claire's inbox: five audio files, one for every session, and a single line.
You know what she did.
As two patient detectives begin asking questions, Claire must revisit what happened that night in 2019-and the woman who died on a staircase in Avondale while everyone's attention was elsewhere.
For seven years, Claire has told herself she was protecting Emma.
Now she has to ask who else she was protecting.
