Tři zmizely. Jen jedna ví proč. Ve wiltshirské venkovské krajině se nachází Ďáblova štreka – strašidelná cesta, v jejímž okolí se dějí podivné věci, ať už jde o sérii úmrtí nebo pláč dítěte ozývající se z noční temnoty. Případ Olivie Rutherfordové je však tím nejznepokojivějším. Čtyři dívky jely domů z večírku, pak ale došlo k nehodě a našla se jen jedna. Co se stalo s ostatními? To se do Wiltshiru vydává zjistit novinářka Jenna Hallidayová. Brzy ale přijde varování: buď odjede, nebo se z ní stane jen další záhada spojená s tímto místem. Po knize Odešla do tmy se českým čtenářům představuje další mysteriózní detektivní thriller oblíbené autorky Claire Douglas.
