Kelly obětovala svou kariéru a se snoubencem Mikem se přestěhovala z Chicaga do Filadelfie. Ale nový život v cizím městě se změnil v noční můru: Je bez přátel a bez práce a lockdown ji uvěznil v malém bytě s mužem, s nímž si přestává rozumět. Jediným světlým bodem je nově obnovené přátelství s kamarádkou z dětství Sabrinou - nyní úspěšnou a sebevědomou autorkou bestsellerů - a jejím přitažlivým manželem Nathanem. Kelly využije jejich nabídku a nastěhuje se do pokoje pro hosty v rozlehlé virginské vile nedaleko Washingtonu. Vzpomínky na Mikea blednou. Především poté, co se Kelly jedné divoké noci připojí k manželským hrátkám Sabriny a Nathana. Od té chvíle žijí ve vile jako poněkud nesourodá, ale vášnivá trojka. Dům i hostitelé však mají svá tajemství. Kelly zjišťuje, že únik z nudné reality by se mohl změnit v nebezpečné drama. Půjde jí o život? Co se skrývá za nablýskanou fasádou úspěšných manželů? Andrea Bartzová stvořila čtivý thriller plný dramatických a nečekaných zvratů. Nechává čtenáře do poslední chvíle v napětí a nutí je, aby sami uvažovali, kdo je kdo

:"An annual backpacking trip has deadly consequences in a chilling new novel from the bestselling author of The Lost Night and The Herd. Emily is having the time of her life--she's in the mountains of Chile with her best friend, Kristen, on their annual reunion trip, and the women are feeling closer than ever. But on the last night of their trip, Emily enters their hotel suite to find blood and broken glass on the floor. Kristen says the cute backpacker she'd been flirting with attacked her, and she had no choice but to kill him in self-defense. Even more shocking: The scene is horrifyingly similar to last year's trip, when another backpacker wound up dead. Emily can't believe it's happened again--can lightning really strike twice? Back home in Wisconsin, Emily struggles to bury her trauma, diving head-first into a new relationship and throwing herself into work. But when Kristen shows up for a surprise visit, Emily is forced to confront their violent past. The more Kristen tries to keep Emily close, the more Emily questions her friend's motives. As Emily feels the walls closing in on their coverups, she must reckon with the truth about her closest friend. Can she outrun the secrets she shares with Kristen, or will they destroy her relationship, her freedom--even her life?"-- Provided by publisher
