2013br. È un venerdì sera del 2003, a Lancaster. È Halloween e i bar in città sono pieni come calderoni straripanti. Vestita da sposa di Satana, con scarpe di seta color ciliegia e un abito di satin rosso aderente con cui ha già rimediato più di un palpeggiamento nei bar dove si è rifornita di sidro e vodka, Catherine Bailey entra al River, l'ennesimo club della serata. Per stare dietro a Kelly, una tizia incontrata al bancone di un bar eccentricamente vestita come una strega senza scopa, punta verso il prive. Bloccata da un muro in abito color carbone, solleva lo sguardo e incrocia due incredibili occhi azzurri sormontati da capelli corti e biondi. È il colpo di fulmine per Cathy, l'incontro che pone fine alla sua spensierata esistenza di ventiquattrenne single attratta dai tipi di una notte soltanto, di cui non ricordare nulla, nemmeno un dettaglio, perse, come si è, nei fumi dell'alcol... È un giorno del 2008, a Londra, quando Catherine Bailey si accinge a uscire da casa. Tira le tende del salotto e della sala da pranzo lasciando la solita apertura, passa e ripassa la mano sul telaio delle finestre per verificarne la chiusura, controlla che la maniglia della porta sia girata sei o, meglio, dodici volte. Deve essere precisa, perché se trascura una sola piccola cosa, se sbaglia di un solo centimetro nel sistemare, per esempio, le tende, occorre ricominciare daccapo.

2018brossura Una sera d'estate i membri di due ricche famiglie newyorkesi e un pittore fallito salgono su un volo privato di ritorno dal mare. Il loro doveva essere un breve viaggio, invece, sedici minuti dopo il decollo, l'aereo precipita nelle acque dell'oceano. Gli unici superstiti sono Scott Burroughs, l'artista, e un bambino di quattro anni, ora unico erede di un impero economico, che l'uomo è riuscito a salvare. Mentre i media avanzano ipotesi di complotto, la polizia e i servizi segreti scandagliano nelle esistenze dei passeggeri. Da eroe, Scott si ritrova a essere un sospettato. E anche il prezioso legame che ha instaurato con il piccolo sopravvissuto comincia a essere corroso dalle insinuazioni.
2022br. Londra, Regent's Canal. Quando su una casa galleggiante viene ritrovato il corpo senza vita di un giovane uomo, brutalmente assassinato, il cerchio dei sospetti si stringe intorno a tre donne. Laura: la ragazza con cui Daniel Sutherland, la vittima, ha trascorso l'ultima notte. Ferita nel corpo e nella mente da un trauma violento subito da bambina, è già nota alle autorità come soggetto pericoloso. Miriam: la vicina indiscreta, che ha scoperto il cadavere e dato l'allarme, non senza occultare qualche informazione. Un tempo, qualcuno ha rubato la sua storia e non ha mai pagato per questo. Carla: la zia di Daniel. Nel suo cuore porta un dolore inconsolabile che la fa diffidare di chiunque. Tre donne che non si conoscono ma sono unite da una caratteristica comune: ognuna ha subito un torto che le ha rovinato la vita. Ognuna cova un risentimento che rischia di esplodere da un momento all'altro, come un fuoco sotto la cenere. E forse per una di loro è giunto il momento di trovare pace. Perché, innocente o colpevole, ognuno di noi è segnato nel profondo. Ma qualcuno lo è al punto da uccidere.
