Hemlock and Roses

“She has never lost an interrogation. He has never said a word. Iris Hale is a philosophy professor and the police's most brilliant interrogator. With nothing but questions, she can make any liar confess. Elias Vane is a quiet piano tuner, and the prime suspect in a murder tied to the fire that killed his brother seven years ago. He doesn't lie. He doesn't defend himself. He simply refuses to speak. The harder Iris pushes, the more she realizes his silence isn't guilt. It's protection. And the person he's protecting may be the one she loves most. When the truth finally comes out, it will break her heart. But it may also show her a love that waited in silence for seven years. Hemlock for the truth. Roses for the heart.”
