Bec Reich is recovering from surgery when Emily phones, so naturally Bec thinks she is hallucinating.  Emily, famous worldwide for her paintings and also for her madness, lives in Beijing – but that's not why they haven't spoken for so long. 

Now she wants Bec to come and see her. 
Which would mean revisiting the sinister games and shared delusions, the terrible damage of their strange, locked-in childhood.  For Bec, fascinated and repelled by her impossible sister, it may be worth the risk.  
Maybe.
