From the back cover

A husband on a business trip receives a past-due notice for an unusually high power bill, even though he and his wife Chloe have both been away and the apartment should be empty. The daily usage shows a steady, heavy draw, yet the smart lock log records no entry and nothing is missing. He flies home early without telling Chloe, who says the rain in Austin delayed her project and sent her home too. She explains the bill away as a forgotten air conditioner she shut off remotely, and the electrician finds no fault in the circuit.
