Some things you know before you are ready to know them. Zara Cole knows it on the bus ride home from an interview she was sure she had ruined — that something about that building, that project, that man is going to be harder to walk away from than she is admitting to herself. Adrian Blackwell knows it sitting alone in his office at half past eight, reading margin notes in a portfolio that was never meant for him. Behind Closed Doors is the story of what grows in the space between what two people say and what they actually mean.
