This year's must-read festive chiller - The Hunting Part meets The Holiday
Neun Personen aus ganz Amerika erhalten einen Brief ohne Absender: eine Liste mit neun Namen, inklusive dem eigenen. Mehr nicht. Die Empfänger kennen einander nicht, sind sich nie begegnet. Wohnort, Beruf, Alter – nichts scheint sie zu verbinden. So verschieden wie ihre Leben sind ihre Reaktionen. Caroline, Englischprofessorin aus Michigan, fühlt sich an eine Todesliste wie aus einem Krimi erinnert, Arthur, Krankenpfleger aus Massachusetts, hält den Brief für falsch adressierte Werbung, Ethan, Singer-Songwriter aus Texas, wird von der Liste zu einem Song inspiriert. Und dann sterben sie, einer nach dem anderen. Der pensionierte Barbesitzer Frank ertrinkt am Strand einer Kleinstadt in Maine, der Familienvater Matthew wird in Massachusetts beim Joggen erschossen, Arthur stirbt im Schlaf an einer Kohlenmonoxidvergiftung. Auch der Name von FBI-Agentin Jessica Winslow steht auf der Liste. Zusammen mit Detective Sam Hamilton versucht sie fieberhaft, das geheimnisvolle Muster zu erkennen – und so den perfiden, tödlichen Plan zu durchkreuzen.
