Cath ligger i senga og leser en krim, mens hun leser blir hun mer og mer forferdet. Boka handler om henne, om hennes liv. Om noe som skjedde for mange år siden. Dette er Caths skitne hemmelighet, en hendelse hun har forsøkt å begrave så dypt som overhodet mulig. Kanskje kunne hun fortalt mannen hun elsker og deler livet med om det da, men nå, nå må hun forklare hvorfor hun aldri har sagt noe. Denne boka setter hele tilværelsen hennes i spill. Og hun aner ikke hvem som har skrevet den, eller hvordan den er havnet på hennes nattbord. Hun trodde ikke det fantes vitner til det som har skjedd som fremdeles er i live. Dette er opptakten til en thriller som elegant lokker oss i den ene retningen for deretter å snu spillet og sette alt vi trodde vi visste i et annet lys. En thriller om relasjonene i en familie, om hvor skjørt fundamentet for lykke kan være.
