      Vstupte do mysli vraha, a už nikdy se nedostanete ven. V londýnském parku je nalezena mladá žena na pokraji smrti, těžce pobodaná a s proříznutým hrdlem. Pachatel zmizel jako přízrak a oběť u sebe nemá žádné doklady, nic, podle čeho by ji bylo možné identifikovat. Nepomůže ani vyhlášené celostátní pátrání. Jako by tu ženu nikdo neznal, jako by nikomu nechyběla. Když se konečně objeví první stopy, zjišťuje seržantka Alice Parrová, že je pachatel vždy o krok napřed. A že toho ví o ní víc než ona o něm. Že proti ní nestojí obyčejný člověk, ale mistrný a velice nebezpečný manipulátor, který dokáže podle potřeby měnit identitu. A není jediný, kdo tu skrývá před světem svá tajemství…
