Why this music
Because the book moves between two timelines with mounting dread, the music stays close and interior — sparse piano and low strings that feel like something half-remembered. It sharpens with the thriller mechanics, tightening around silences the way the protagonist tightens around the truth. The warmth never quite arrives.
