Was machst du, wenn dir alles genommen wird? Camilla Läckbergs erster Psychothriller: raffiniert, abgründig, brillant. Nach außen wirkt Fayes Leben perfekt: Sie hat einen einflussreichen Ehemann, eine Tochter, die sie über alles liebt, und eine luxuriöse Wohnung im schönsten Viertel Stockholms. Doch sie wird von dunklen Erinnerungen aus ihrer Kindheit verfolgt. Und ihr Ehemann Jack bringt ihr nichts als Verachtung entgegen. Faye war einmal eine mutige, starke junge Frau, die ihre Träume verfolgte. Bis sie für Jack alles aufgab.

When Hannah is invited into the First-Class carriage of the London to Penzance train by Jinni, she walks into a spider's web. Now a poor, young single mother, Hannah once escaped Cornwall to go to university. But once she married Jake and had his child, her dreams were crushed into bitter disillusion. Her husband has left her for Eve, rich and childless, and Hannah has been surviving by becoming a cleaner in London. Jinni is equally angry and bitter, and in the course of their journey the two women agree to murder each other's husbands.

Sophie is perfect. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and when she smiles her wide, open, caring smile, her teeth sparkle. Everybody loves her. So would I, except she’s my husband Mike’s best friend, and sometimes they seem a little too close for comfort. This summer, Sophie is renting the grand house next door, bringing over fancy wine, offering to babysit our beautiful three-year-old daughter. It’s nice, actually. She’s smart and funny. Maybe the way she is with Mike–squeezing his arm, tilting her head when she laughs at his jokes–is just how she is with everybody.

Jack e Faye começaram a namorar na faculdade: um garoto criado em berço de ouro e uma jovem que se esforçou para enterrar um passado sombrio. Quando ele decide criar uma empresa, ela deixa os estudos e passa a trabalhar de dia, dedicando as noites a traçar a estratégia do novo negócio. A companhia se torna um sucesso bilionário, mas Faye se sente como um lindo pássaro preso numa gaiola, apenas cuidando da filha em casa e sendo exibida pelo marido, que toma todas as decisões da empresa. Jack agora despreza sua inteligência, esquecendo tudo o que ela sacrificou por ele.
