A lifelong beekeeper, Albert Honig is deeply acquainted with
the ways and workings of the hives. He knows that bees
dislike wool clothing and foul language; that the sweetest
honey is made from the blooms of eucalyptus; and that bees
are at their gentlest in a swarm. But Albert is less versed
in the ways of people, especially his beautiful, courageous,
and secretive friend Claire. A friend and neighbor since childhood, Claire was a
hovering presence—and then a glaring absence—in Albert’s
life, a change that has never been reconciled. When she is
killed in a seemingly senseless accident during a burglary
gone wrong, Albert is haunted by the loss. In the aftermath
of this tragedy, he is left to piece together the events of
their lives to attempt to make sense of their shared past
and the silence that persisted between them for a decade
before her death. What Albert comes to learn is that
Claire’s secrets were far darker than anything he could have
imagined...
