Als die Staatsanwältin Kerry McGrath in der Praxis eines renommierten Schönheitschirurgen das Gesicht der ermordeten Suzanne wiedererkennt, nimmt sie den Jahre zurückliegenden Fall wieder auf - und bringt eine auch für sie selbst gefährliche Lawine ins Rollen. Ein Psychothriller, wie nur die „Königin der Spannung“ ihn schreiben kann. Mysteriöse Vorkommnisse in einem alten Kapitänshaus, hoch über den Klippen von Cape Cod, versetzen die Schriftstellerin Menley Nichols in Angst und Verzweiflung. Das Haus war schon einmal Schauplatz einer Tragödie. „Die Bücher der “Königin der Spannung„ sind meisterhaft ausgeklügelte Thriller.“ HAMBURGER ABENDBLATT „Hoch spannend bis zum letzten Kapitel.“ DER STERN
