I media, infatti, scalpitano per individuare un colpevole e Karl è l'uomo che fa al caso loro: la giornalista Amanda Bowe non ha nessuna intenzione di lasciarsi sfuggire l'occasione di uno scoop epocale, raccontando per prima la storia dell'uomo che potrebbe avere ucciso sua nipote. Sono passati sei anni e la vita di Karl è un disastro. Il suo matrimonio è naufragato, la sua famiglia è distrutta. La donna che l'ha rovinato, invece, ha tutto quello che si possa desiderare: una carriera brillante, un marito che la ama e un bellissimo bambino. Il mondo di Amanda è perfetto.

2017ril. Bellissima e sensibile nel fulgore dei suoi vent'anni, Dalia potrebbe possedere il mondo. Invece, la sua fiducia nell'umanità è già gravemente compromessa: abbandonata dal padre prima ancora di nascere, è stata cresciuta dalla madre in completa solitudine, rotta soltanto dalla relazione con un uomo violento, delle cui aggressioni Dalia è stata testimone fin da piccola. Tormentata da incubi ricorrenti e con l'anima annerita dai lividi, la ragazza cova un desiderio inesprimibile, una sete di riscatto e vendetta che la brillante carriera di studentessa in medicina non basta a placare. Il volontariato in un centro per donne vittime di violenza le conferma ogni giorno quanto gli uomini possano macchiarsi di atrocità rimanendo impuniti. Finché il gelo che ha dentro finalmente deflagra, e decide di vendicare, una per una, tutte le donne abusate che ha incontrato sulla propria strada, a cominciare dalla madre. Si trasforma così in un angelo sterminatore che sceglie le sue prede con metodo e somministra loro l'estremo castigo con un calcolo e una freddezza che sfidano l'ingegno dei poliziotti incaricati di indagare sugli omicidi. E mentre la Dalia serial killer agisce indisturbata, la Dalia timida studentessa si imbatte in Alessandro, laureando in filosofia e barman introverso, che la corteggia con gesti premurosi e pensieri gentili. Tra i due si instaura una connessione profonda fatta di silenzi, slanci trattenuti, ferite condivise, che schiude una crepa nella corazza che Dalia si è cucita addosso per mettersi al riparo dall'amore. Ma ciò che non immaginerebbe mai è che, proprio adesso, dal suo passato possa tornare a braccarla il più spaventoso degli incubi. Marina Di Guardo esplora il lato oscuro di un'anima corrotta, costruendo un thriller travolgente che è pura tragedia greca sull'ineluttabilità del male.

2018br. "Questo è un leone maschio. Chiunque sia stato su un banco di scuola sa che è la leonessa a uccidere le prede. Ricordatelo, nel posto dove stai andando". La pace che regna su Bull Mountain, dopo che lo sceriffo Clayton Burroughs ha ucciso suo fratello Halford, è solo apparente: ora che la montagna e i suoi sentieri sono privi di padroni, molti altri fuorilegge attendono il momento giusto per prendere il controllo dei traffici di marijuana, whiskey e anfetamina, da decenni nelle mani dei Burroughs. Clayton, però, non si è ancora ripreso dalle ferite provocate dallo scontro a fuoco con l'agente federale Simon Holly, e non ha la forza di reagire. Nemmeno l'amata moglie Kate o il piccolo Eben riescono a scuoterlo dalla depressione. La lotta per il possesso di Bull Mountain è appena cominciata, e mette in pericolo la famiglia di Clayton. È Kate a rendersene conto, e a dover combattere con tutta se stessa per salvare la sua casa e la sua terra da un nemico spietato e inarrestabile.

2022ril. Lissa, Bron e Georgie sono amiche da anni, da quando al liceo erano le migliori atlete della squadra di nuoto. E anche se poi ognuna ha preso la propria strada, quella passione è rimasta, soprattutto per Lissa, che gestisce con il marito un hotel su un'incantevole isola del sud-est asiatico, e non può fare a meno della nuotata quotidiana, e di quel senso incredibile di libertà che prova a ogni bracciata. È per questo che, quando improvvisamente Lissa scompare, sembra incredibile che possa essere annegata, anche se il corpo, con ancora indosso un costume rosso, finito nella rete di un pescatore, sembra non lasciare dubbi. Tra la gente del posto, però, si comincia a mormorare di vecchie leggende, strane storie che riguardano Kanu Cove, la baia dove Lissa è stata vista l'ultima volta. «Kanu prende. Kanu prende chi vuole essere preso...» E quando Bron e Georgie arrivano sull'isola per dare l'ultimo saluto a Lissa, qualcosa - qualcosa che è rimasto nascosto sotto la superficie cristallina del mare - comincia a venire a galla. Perché insieme a Lissa, l'oceano sembra essersi portato via molti segreti. E, si sa, tra migliori amiche i segreti sono di un solo tipo: quelli pericolosi.
2016br. La famiglia Dunne è a pezzi. Dopo l'improvvisa morte del marito, per la prima volta Katherine Dunne deve occuparsi a tempo pieno della vita dei suoi figli, ormai allo sbando: la più grande, Carrie, soffre di bulimia e attacchi depressivi. Mark è una specie di bradipo svagato che fuma marijuana dalla mattina alla sera. Il piccolo Ernie invece ha solo dieci anni, ma parla come un adulto, si abbuffa in continuazione e ogni giorno chiede alla madre se è stato adottato. Per rimettere insieme i cocci, Katherine organizza una vacanza in barca a vela per tutta la famiglia, affidando il timone a Jake, suo ex cognato e vecchio lupo di mare. Sembra la scelta migliore. Anche il nuovo, affascinante marito di Katherine, avvocato di grido e innamoratissimo compagno, pare d'accordo. Ma l'apparenza inganna, come ben sa Gerard Devoux, ex agente CIA e ora killer professionista, assoldato per eliminare la famiglia Dunne. Nell'ambiente Devoux è soprannominato l'Illusionista, perché la sua specialità è far scomparire le persone. E la vacanza si trasforma in un incubo senza fine...
