Deception, abuse, determination. In this novel we follow a man whose husband has been killed.  As he goes to identify the body he learns that his husband has been living a double life, one with him and another in service of a family that had betrayed him as a child. Manuel is devastated by this revelation, but with the assistance of a retired policeman with his own agenda, investigates the circumstances around the death and discovers a nest of lies and manipulations.
