The life of Alicia Berenson is seemingly perfect. A renowned painter herself, her husband is a sought-after fashion photographer, and they live in a large house overlooking the park in one of the most beautiful areas of London. One night, when her husband returns late from a photo shoot, Alicia shoots him five times in the head and plunges into silence.
Her refusal to speak or provide any explanation will turn a family tragedy into something much larger, into a mystery that captures the public's imagination and makes Alicia notorious. The price of her works skyrockets, and she, the "silent patient," is moved away from the limelight to Grove, a high-security psychiatric unit in north London.
Theo Faber is a forensic psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. He is convinced that he will succeed where others have failed. His determination to make her speak and unravel the mystery of her husband's murder leads him down a treacherous path that delves into the deeper causes of her silence...
And if she speaks to him, will she want to hear the truth?
