"Ich habe sie nur vor dem Teufel beschützt" Suzie Gray war erst fünfzehn Jahre alt. Jetzt liegt sie blutüberströmt in den Armen ihres Kinderfreundes Olly Matken, erstochen, nur wenige Meter von der Jacht ihres Onkels auf der Isle of Wight entfernt. Doch der psychisch schwer gestörte Olly behauptet, nicht der Mörder zu sein. DCI Charlie Trench wendet sich an die Polizeipsychologin Karen Taylor. Ist Olly fähig, einen grausamen Mord zu begehen?
