   Summary

   Freshly divorced, Stede Bonnet decides it’s time to start anew. Leaving his cushy life as an entomology lecturer in New Zealand behind, he takes on the role of Insect Keeper at Harthall Zoo. His new co-workers are passionate and caring (albeit overworked and underpaid), and Stede finds himself slipping into a comfortable state where things just seem to make sense. But there’s always a calm before the storm, and soon Stede is entangled in a web of whispers where no one seems to know the truth.
