Dívka se proti své vůli rozhodne spolupracovat a tím je neodvolatelně zatažena do hrůzného dramatu zuřivosti a pomsty, zaměřeného na jejího zaměstnavatele. Oba hrdinové, jejichž vzájemná antipatie v průběhu dramatu přeroste v hluboký cit, se nevzdávají, a sadistickému šílenci se drží na stopě až do konečného střetnutí.

Oblíbená autorka thrillerů přichází s volným pokračováním jednoho ze svých nejnapínavějších románů Tvář zrady. Sympatická hrdinka Eva Duncanová, soudní specialistka zabývající se rekonstrukcí podob nalezených obětí, rozehrává nebezpečnou a nervy drásající hru s vraždícím maniakem. Vrah dobře zná její bolest nad ztrátou dcerky Bonnie - vždyť ji sám zbavil života! - ale ví i to, jak velmi by si přála pracovat na identifikaci devíti objevených kosterních pozůstatků. Eva se totiž nedokáže smířit s tím, že tělo její dcery nebylo nikdy nalezeno, a upíná se k naději, že by mohlo být jedním z oněch devíti. Tím se však vrahova sadistická partie teprve otevírá... V kteroukoli denní i noční dobu se může rozeznít telefon a příšerný mrazivý hlas z něho mladou ženu ujišťuje, že ví o každém jejím pohybu. Kdosi tam na druhém konci ji přivádí k šílenství a raduje se z její trýzně. Ani dva nejdůležitější muži Evina života - detektiv Joe Quinn a finanční magnát John Logan - jí tentokrát nemohou pomoci. Eva musí hrát sama, protože tak zní vrahova pravidla hry . Cenou za vítězství, kterou ovšem hodlá urvat pro sebe, není pak nic menšího než - Evin život! A pro chorý mozek, který strašlivou partii rozehrál, jsou život i smrt jen pouhá hra.

Cassandra Devillová vyrástla na jednom z Havajských ostrovov, kam sa uchýlili jej rodičia počas búrlivého obdobia po Veľkej francúzskej revolúcii.

Cassandra Devillová vyrůstala na jednom z havajských ostrovů, kam její rodiče uprchli za bouřlivého období po Velké francouzské revoluci. Když u břehu jejich ostrova zakotví plachetnice Angličana Jareda Danemounta, vévody z Morlandu, přepadne Cassandru zlé tušení. Instinktivně vycítí, že v jejich dosavadním poklidném životě v tomto pozemském ráji dojde k zásadní změně. Cassandřiny obavy se ukážou jako opodstatněné. Vévoda z Morlandu totiž viní jejího otce z podlé zrady. Za běsnění revolučního teroru zavinil prý smrt jeho otce a dalších příbuzných, francouzských aristokratů. Cassandra je odhodlaná udělat vše pro to, aby ochránila svého otce před Jaredem, dychtícím po pomstě. Oba se octnou v rozporuplném položení – přestože je jejich srdce táhnou k sobě, rozum jim velí jinak.

Hlavní hrdinka nezvykle pojatého thrilleru Eva Duncanová je sochařkou na vrcholu své kariéry. Když se však její milované dítě stane obětí masového vraha, mladá umělkyně vloží veškerý svůj talent do zvláštní specializace... Podle zbytků lebečních kostí rekonstruuje ztracené podoby mrtvých, a pomáhá tak identifikovat zmizelé děti. Teprve po dlouhém váhání však souhlasí s návrhem miliardáře Johna Logana, který se na ni obrátí se žádostí o rekonstrukci podoby podle lebky dospělého. Nerozhoduje se však lehce, zvláště poté, co se doví o existenci jakési záhadné skupiny lidí, kteří údajně chtějí možné identifkaci zabránit za jakoukoli cenu a jakýmikoli prostředky. Jedná se o tajemnou vraždu, nebo je snad Logan přesvědčen, že lebka má - neradno ani domýšlet jakou - souvislost s atentátem na prezidenta Kennedyho? Eviny nejdivočejší teorie se náhle zdají být pravdě blíže, než by se mohlo zdát. Tváří v tvář "znovuoživené" podobě mrtvého se vynořuje temné a děsivé tajemství. Duncanové i Loganovi jde náhle o život, a oba jsou nuceni do posledních sil bojovat o přežití.

Elizabeth Ramseyová pokladá rodný mlýn za jediné místo na světě, kde se cíti bezpečná a šťastná. V tomto starobylém rodinném sídle chce přivést na svět i dítě, které nosí. Nečekaná návštěva Jona Sandella jí poodhalí nejen tajemství života zemřelého manžela, ale přinutí ji změnit svůj dosavadní život i chápání pojmu domov.

Fotografka a reportérka Bess Gradyová si už dávno zvykla pohlížet na svět objektivem svého špičkového fotoaparátu. Ta pomyslná vzdálenost jí pomáhá udržet si ode všech katastrof a děsivých událostí, které musí zdokumentovat, jistý odstup. Po tom, co se zhostila nezáviděníhodného úkolu - nafotografovat masakr v dětském domově - je přesvědčena, že si zaslouží "rekreační" zakázku. A právě takovou se jí jeví nabídka reklamního časopisu cestovní kanceláře, která si nepřeje nic obtížnějšího než pořídit spousty snímků jakési zapadlé mexické vesnice. Aby si to opravdu užila, rozhodne se Bess, že s sebou vezme svou sestru. To, co však obě mladé ženy v Mexiku čeká, je horší než nejstrašnější noční můra. Idylická vesnička se změnila v hrůzný hřbitov. Všichni její obyvatelé byli otráveni neznámým prudkým jedem. Zdá se však, že jeden z nich přece jen přežije... Poté, co jej však Bess a její sestra vskutku přivedou k životu, obrátí se vše ještě k horšímu. Bess je zajata lidskou zrůdou, která má podle všeho celou apokalypsu na svědomí, její sestra je nezvěstná. Příliš naděje na její záchranu Bess nezbývá. Jedinou šancí je důvěřovat muži, o němž je přesvědčena, že je vrah...
