Když se mladí milenci probudí z hlubokého spánku navozeného drogou, jsou sami na neznámém místě, uvězněni bez jídla a pití. U pohozené pistole leží vzkaz: Živý se odtud dostane jen ten, kdo zastřelí toho druhého… Policejní inspektorka Helen Graceová hledá sériového vraha, jehož psychicky zlomené oběti se jen obtížně vyrovnávají s prožitou hrůzou. A rozluštit záhadu se jí daří teprve ve chvíli, kdy si postupně uvědomí souvislosti, které zdánlivě nelogické vrahovo jednání propojí se zasutými traumaty jejího vlastního života. Brilantně napsanému detektivnímu románu nechybí dramatický závěr s thrillerovými prvky.
