A wedding-anniversary dinner turns into a private invitation—and a source of suspicion.

Lily and Stig’s anniversary meal at celebrity chef Hector Bolson-Woods’s exclusive restaurant brings their marital difficulties into sharper focus. When Hector invites them to dine with him privately, Lily is drawn to his attention, while Stig wants nothing to do with a repeat. His reaction leaves Lily wondering what he may be concealing and how it connects to Hector. A second invitation, accompanied by a proposal neither spouse can refuse, sets the psychological thriller’s central tension in motion: a troubled marriage entangled with an enigmatic host and an unanswered question.
