Kõval maapinnal kuivanud lehtedest asemel veedetud öö - sellisena polnud Claire Matchett küll oma puhkust ette kujutanud.Tema lootis, et sellest tuleb pääsemine tööpingetest ja väikeste lastega tegelemisest. Matkaradadel ja kümblustünnides koos kahe sõprade paariga veedetud aeg, mida ei saa rikkuda ka paraku kaasas olev viimasel ajal vastikult käituv abikaasa. Igal juhul kõlas mõte puhkusest täiesti taevalikult.Nii asuvadki teele kuus väga erinevat inimest, kellest mitmel on saladus, mille ilmsiks tulekut nad sugugi ei soovi. Ent teekond unistuste spaahotelli poole kujuneb sootuks teistsuguseks, kui keegi neist oleks arvata osanud. Teelt eksinud linnainimestel tuleb ootamatult metsas telefonilevita hakkama saada ja nagu see poleks juba piisavalt jube, hakkab peagi tunduma, et neid ähvardab palju suurem oht kui lihtsalt eksimine ...

Kuid ma ei saa selle töökoha kaotamisega riskida - juhul, kui ma tahan endiselt varjata oma kõige süngema saladust ...Raske on leida tööandjat, kes mu mineviku kohta liiga palju küsimusi ei esitaks. Niisiis tänan oma õnnetähte, kui Garrickid otsekui imeväel mulle tööd pakuvad. Ma koristan nende jalustrabavate linnavaadetega katusekorterit ja valmistan klantsivas köögis peeneid eineid. Saan siin mõnda aega tööd teha, seni varjus püsida, kuni olen soovitu saavutanud.See kõik on peaaegu ideaalne. Kuid ma pole ikka veel kohtunud proua Garrickiga ega näinud, milline külaliste magamistuba välja näeb. Usun kindlalt, et olen kuulnud teda nutmas. Märkan pesu pestes ta valge öösärgi kaeluse ümber vereplekke. Ja ühel päeval ei suuda ma vastu panna kiusatusele uksele koputada. Kui see vaikselt lahti vajub, muudab toas nähtu kõike.Just siis annan ma lubaduse. Eks ma ole seda ju ennegi teinud. Ma saan proua Garrickit kaitsta, avaldamata seejuures oma saladusi.Douglas Garrick on kurja teinud. Ta maksab selle eest. Küsimus on üksnes selles, kui kaugele ma olen valmis minema.Raju, shokeerivate süzheepööretega järg rahvusvahelisele menuraamatule, New York Timesi, USA Today ja Wall Street Journali edetabelite tippe vallutanud "Koduabilisele", hoiab teid lugemas hommikuni!

Helt til den dagen politiet kom på døren. Nå er Nora voksen, faren sitter i fengsel, og hun lever et stille og rolig liv, med en vellykket karriere som kirurg. Ingen vet at faren var en beryktet seriemorder. Og slik ønsker hun at det skal forbli. Så blir en av Noras pasienter funnet drept. Fremgangsmåten har urovekkende likhetstrekk med den faren brukte. Noen vet hvem Nora er. Noen vil at hun skal ta støyten. Men politiet har ingenting på henne. Så lenge de ikke finner på å ta en titt i kjelleren hennes ... «Den låste døren er den beste thrilleren jeg har lest siden Den tause pasienten. Hva har de til felles? Du kommer aldri til å gjette hvordan det slutter!» Book Club Reporters «Det er ingen overraskelse at min favorittbok av Freida McFadden også er en av hennes dystreste (…) den underholdningsverdien jeg håpet på, ble så til de grader innfridd.» Crime by the Book «McFadden har raskt blitt en av de forfatterne jeg tyr til når jeg vil ha en bok som holder på oppmerksomheten min og leverer et spennende plot og imponerende vrier og vendinger. Hun er virkelig en spenningens mester, og jeg elsker at uansett hva slags tema boken har, fremstår det som friskt, oppfinnsomt og overraskende.» This Writer Says Sitat fra lesere: Freida … Man trenger bare det første navnet, det blir som med Madonna. Når man først er blitt hektet på Freidas bøker, virker alle andre bøker så kjedelige. Flytt deg, Colleen Hoover, Freida er best! Jeg mistet helt leselysten i et par år, men da jeg først begynte å lese en av Freidas bøker, klarte jeg ikke å stoppe.
