Cleo Krol, 40, is a laid-off reporter who recently moved to Washington DC. When her friend and next-door neighbor, Rae Gagnon, has a psychotic break, Cleo is bewildered – Rae showed no warning signs. When Rae is released from the hospital, she returns to work and seems okay for the first couple of weeks and Cleo is relieved. Then, unexpectedly, she commits suicide. Searching for reasons why, Cleo learns about Rae’s chaotic love life and a Chinese spy program for U.S. government labs. Soon, she meets Detective Scott Fisher, who becomes an ally in her investigation. Can Cleo unravel the details of Rae’s death … and maybe even resurrect her own reporting career?
