From the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Malorie comes a haunting tale of love and mystery, as the date of a lifetime becomes a maddening exploration of the depths of the heart."Malerman expertly conjures a fairy tale nostalgia of first love, and we follow along, all too willingly, ignoring the warning signs even as the fear takes hold."--Lit Reactor The story begins: young lovers, anxious to connect, agree to a first date, thinking outside of the box. At seventeen years old, James and Amelia can feel the rest of their lives beginning. They have got this summer and this summer alone to experience the extraordinary. But they didn't expect to find it in a house at the bottom of a lake. The house is cold and dark, but it's also their own. Caution be damned, until being carefree becomes dangerous. For the teens must decide: swim deeper into the house--all the while falling deeper in love? Whatever they do, they will never be able to turn their backs on what they discovered together. And what they learned: Just because a house is empty, doesn't mean nobody's home.

Piinallisen jännittävän Bird Boxin tarina jatkuuMalorie elää teini-ikäisten lastensa kanssa side silmillään Camp Yadinissa, entisellä kesäleirialueella. Maailma ympärillä on hengenvaarallinen, sillä kaikkialla on olioita, joiden katsominen tai koskettaminen suistaa hulluuteen ja itsemurhaan. Eräänä päivänä Malorie saa tietää, että hänen vanhempansa ovat kenties sittenkin selviytyneet, eikä hän näe muuta vaihtoehtoa kuin ottaa riskin ja lähteä lapsineen kohti tuntematonta. Josh Malermanin esikoisromaani Lintuhäkki ja sen pohjalta tehty Netflix-elokuva Bird Box ovat olleet maailmanlaajuinen hitti. Maloriessa hyytävä aistikauhu työntyy iholle asti.

Pianisti Philip Tonka herää koomasta lähes kaikki luut murskana. Puoli vuotta aiemmin hän ja hänen bändinsä, toisen maailmansodan kolmikymppisistä veteraaneista koostuva The Danes, sai Yhdysvaltain armeijalta rahakkaan tehtävän: Namibin aavikolla on kuultu ääni, joka on saattanut ydinpomminkin toimintakelvottomaksi. Onko kyseessä uusi kylmän sodan voimasuhteet mullistava ase? Mitä bändi oikein löysi aavikolta? Tai... mikä löysi heidät?Punainen piano hyytää selittämättömän häiritsevällä tunnelmallaan ja jatkaa Lintuhäkistä tuttua aisteihin keskittyvää kauhua. Kirjaa on verrattu Joseph Conradin Pimeyden sydämeen ja tv-sarja Lostiin. Se on muusikon romaani äänistä, soittajista ja musiikista.
