The two of them climbed the first landing. They were about ten steps from the bottom. It was a game children played, challenging each other to jump higher and higher. Frank took her hand. Cleo squeezed his hand in hers. And they both jumped down.
New York is slipping away from Cleo. Yes, she's partying, but she has almost no friends. Her student visa is about to expire, and she doesn't even have money for cigarettes. But then Cleo meets Frank. A man nearly twenty years her senior, his life is filled with the success and excess that Cleo lacks. Frank offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the chance to get a green card. Cleo offers him a life of beauty and art - and a reason to drink less. For each other, they are everything they both want at the moment.
Cleo and Frank plunge headlong into a love affair. Events unfold so quickly that both of them find themselves gasping for breath. Not only their lives are changed, but also the lives of those around them: Cleo's best friend, who is trying to come to terms with his sexual identity in the face of her marriage, and Frank's sister, who is financially dependent on him. Ultimately, a chance meeting between the two strangers after a New Year's Eve party changes everything - for better or for worse

We meet Grace in prison, but the conflict in the novel goes deeper than the typical detective story. Grace's story, like Lady Macbeth, is full of the insanely passionate rebellion of a woman. It is a tense cocktail of desires, intrigues and murders. Duplicitous people who sip wine on weekends and have an opinion on everything, sitting in front of flat-screen TVs streaming Netflix, ordinary Londoners who live their lives like in the movie 'Whistleblower Day' for years; Instagram influencers who promote an exaggerated healthy lifestyle - this is a spiderweb of characters who, like pieces of a puzzle, create an extraordinary and crazy story
