Peter James

Una mujer (Katie Bishop) de clase acomodada ha sido asesinada en Brighton y su marido (Brian Bishop) no parece ser capaz de recordar mucho, como por ejemplo tener una amante (Sophie Harrington) a quien supuestamente visito mientras su esposa fallecia y quien, por tanto, podria servirle de coartada. Pero Brian no recuerda muchas cosas. Ni tener un romance extramarital ni haber matado a esa misma amante, convirtiendola en la segunda victima de un asesino en serie que parece tener demasiadas cosas en comun con Brian Bishop. Tanto en comun que toda la novela gira en torno a una unica idea: El 71 por ciento de las victimas de homicidio fueron asesinadas por alguien a quien conocian, porque aparentemente es una linda cuidad costera, pero cuenta con un inframundo criminal a la altura de Loa Angeles o Londres. Ese asesino en serie se hace llamar a si mismo El Millonario de Tiempo, dada la extraordinaria capacidad que tiene para invertir cuantas horas sean necesarias como para conocer en profundidad los habitos de sus nuevas victimas. Ademas, ese homicida tiene su propia firma: pone una mascara antigas de la II Guerra Mundial en el rostro de las mujeres a quienes mata. Eso sin olvidar otras formas de actuar que tal vez acaben por delatarlo: En los bolsillos con cremallera de la chaqueta, ademas de la cartera y el movil, llevaba un rollo de cinta adhesiva plateada, un cuchillo, cloroformo y un frasco de Rohypnol, la droga fulminante llamada tambien de la violacion. Y otras cosas nunca se sabia cuando iba a necesitarlas. Un nuevo caso del Inspector Roy Grace.

Carly Chase está todavía traumatizada por el accidente de tráfico que tuvo hace unos diez días y en el que resultó muerto un estudiante de la universidad de Brighton. Es entonces cuando recibe una noticia que pondra del reves toda su existencia: los conductores de los otros vehiculos involucrados en el accidente han sido encontrados torturados y asesinados. Roy Grace de la policia de Sussex advierte a Carly de la seriedad del peligro en el que se encuentra, porque ella podria ser la siguiente. La mujer, aterrorizada, no sigue el consejo de la policia de esconder su identidad y ponerse a salvo y decide que si nadie puede ayudarla, es ella misma la que tiene que protegerse. Lo que desconoce, es que el asesino se ha anticipado y la observa, espera y se prepara?
