Description: On a summer's evening in Amsterdam, two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant for dinner. Between mouthfuls of food, the conversation remains a gentle hum of po- lite discourse. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with ev- ery forced smile and new course, the knives are being sharpened. Each couple has a fif- teen-year-old son. The boys are united by their accountability for a single horrific act. As civility and friendship disintegrate, both couples show just how far they will go to protect those they love. --back cover
