Da familien Cutters naboer, familien Langley, bliver skudt ned i deres hus en varm augustnat, bliver familien Cutters verden vendt på hovedet.

Med mindre morderne selvfølgelig trådte ind i det forkerte hus… Til at starte med virkede ideen vanvittig – men hvert medlem af familien Cutter har en hemmelighed, de heller ville holde begravet.

Og hvad ved Jim Cutter om Fru Langley, som ikke engang hendes mand vidste? For at finde ud af, hvem der dræbte familien Langley, og hvorfor, må alles hemmeligheder komme frem i lyset. Men den endelige hemmelighed – den hemmelighed, der enten kan redde eller ødelægge dem alle – ligger et sted, hvor ingen ville tænke på at lede … „Linwood Barclay ved, hvordan man kaster almindelige personer ud i ualmindeligt farlige situationer … Læsere vil tonse igennem historien med glæde.“ - Publishers Weekly. „En bevægende og effektiv thriller.“ - Wall Street Journal Review „En spændingshistorie i et fantastisk hurtigt tempo.“ - Washington Post „En gribende læsning.“ - Booklist„Glat, åndeløs og ubarmhjertigt hurtig.“ - Daily Mirror

Det vakthavande befälet på den amerikanska flygbasen trodde inte sina ögon. Planet som kom flygande rakt emot honom var en antik tysk Albatross från första världskriget!

Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own.

But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!
