After Sari Bashir fell to her death near her St. Louis law firm, everyone assumed the stress of the job got to her. Rachel Gold-as well as the police-figure her death was a suicide and move on. However, Stanley Plotkin, the law firm's eccentric mailroom clerk, is sure that Sari was murdered. Stanley, a genius afflicted with Asperger's Syndrome, cannot read emotions from other's facial expressions. To compensate, he studies the voluminous facial action coding system to help him navigate social situations. His mastery of that system has convinced him that Sari was not suicidal. Armed with evidence that only he can see, he turns to Rachel for help. Soon Rachel begins uncovering a vast criminal enterprise rife with collateral damage-and Sari's death is only the beginning...
