"Gin, distinctive for its combination of juniper berries and botanicals such as coriander and angelica, continues to be a main player in the modern cocktail bar, in both classic and modern guises. The recent growth in micro-distilleries and fashionable gin bars has made a significant impact on its profile as a drink with a contemporary vibe. There is even a World Gin Day, the second Saturday in June, an event that sees festivals, cocktail hours, street parties and tastings all over the world. The Bartender's Guide to Gin starts with a thorough guide to equipment and approaches, followed by a heady selection of 100 gin-based recipes. These include old favourites such as Gin Sling and Alabama Slammer, exotic concoctions such as Magnolia Blossom and Bloodhound, and modern recipes celebrating new trends and ingredients, such as Mango and Black Pepper Cocktail and Gin and Matcha Green Tea Cocktail. Selected pages also offer useful practical information about the colourful history of gin, from the early Genever gins to the use of gin for medicinal purposes."--Publisher's description.

Christina Wheelerová chce skočit z mostu a ani psycholog Joseph OLoughlin, řečený Joe, jí nedokáže sebevraždu rozmluvit. Později se u Joea doma objeví její dospívající dcera a tvrdí, že není možné, aby se matka dobrovolně zabila tímto způsobem, protože měla panický strach z výšek.

Když se Sienna Hegartyová, problémová kamarádka dcery Joe O’Loughlina, objeví u dveří jeho domu v šoku, neschopná říct, co se stalo, a celá od krve, Joe si slíbí, že odhalí temná tajemství, která se její mysl rozhodla pohřbít. U Sienny doma policie objeví zásadní díl celé skládačky: mrtvolu jejího otce, bývalého policisty. Testy potvrdí, že krev, kterou na sobě Sienna má, patří panu Hegartymu. Dívka tvrdí, že si nic nepamatuje, ale vyšetřovatelé se soustředí právě na ni. O’Loughlin cítí, že se se Siennou děje ještě něco. Možná je to jen v její hlavě. Anebo je to skutečné. Někdo skutečný. Někdo schopný spáchat tu nejodpornější a nejpříšernější vraždu vůbec, někdo, kdo se nebude bát vraždit znovu…
