Description
Alison and Simon lost their daughter to a careless driver who escaped serious punishment. Decades later, at a beach resort in Thailand, they meet other tourists who have suffered similar losses.
A casual conversation about whether killing a person is ever justified leads to a series of life-altering events for all of them.

Editorial Reviews
"The central moral dilemma in the book is interesting and I really enjoyed how the characters handled (or didn’t handle) it." GoodReads Review
