Publisher's Synopsis
Who would believe the words of a bird brain, anyway? When Camille inherits Simon, an African grey parrot from her deceased neighbor, she sees the challenge of owning such a noisy, spoiled pet. But when the music plays, and Simon starts to replay a violent scene in the voice of his former owner, Camille begins to realize that she has inherited more than she bargained for. Could a bird really recall the last moments of his owner's life? And stranger yet, could he really be repeating a death scene that he witnessed? Camille's best friend, Leo, has his doubts, and after the disappearance of Camille's sister, he wonders if her tragic past is coming back to haunt her and she is finally breaking down. But she has no one else to go to, no one besides the questionable other neighbor who might well have been involved with the murder victim. It's a question of a bird's word against the truth and a race to find out what it all means.
