A brand-new, Hollywood-bound thriller that will be remembered… Greek tragedy, Agatha Christie planning, and Hitchcockian suspense are all mixed together.

In the startling psychological thriller The Silent Patient, a lady commits violence against her husband, and the therapist becomes fixated on figuring out why she did it.

The life of Alicia Berenson appears to be ideal. In one of London’s most sought-after neighborhoods, she resides in a stately home with large windows overlooking a park and is married to a well-known painter and a sought-after fashion photographer. Alicia shoots her husband Gabriel five times in the face one evening when he arrives home late from a fashion assignment, and she never says another word.

By refusing to speak or provide an explanation, Alicia elevates a home tragedy into a mystery that captivates the public’s interest and makes Alicia famous. The silent patient is kept out of the spotlight and tabloids at the Grove, a secure forensic hospital in North London, as the cost of her artwork soars.

Criminal psychotherapist Theo Faber has been eager to work with Alicia for a long time. He follows a convoluted path into his own motivations in an attempt to persuade her to speak and solve the mystery of why she shot her husband—a quest for the truth that could engulf him.
