Holttest a parlamentben
Az alsóház majdnem olyan magányos hely tud lenni, mint a sivatag, de nehéz csendben maradni benne.
Felharsan a parlamenti csengő, megkondul a Big Ben harangja. Pontban kilenc órakor fegyver dördül a brit alsóházban. Egy vacsorára érkező amerikai nagytőkést holtan találnak az egyik teremben. A halálát öngyilkosságnak tüntetik fel, ám Robert West, a belügyminiszter parlamenti magántitkára mást sejt a tragédia mögött, így magára ölti az amatőr detektív szerepét. De egyre nehezebbé válik a nyomokra összpontosítania, miután felbukkan az elhunyt férfi igéző szépségű unokája, a maga sötét titkaival...
Az eredetileg 1932-ben megjelent regény Ellen Wilkinson, az egyik első megválasztott női parlamenti képviselő tollából származik, aki egyedülállóan, belülről ábrázolta a politikai botrányok világát.

Rose Barclay kilencéves, és ő az egyetlen szemtanúja dadusa halálának. Csakhogy az eset óta egy szót sem szól.
Stella Hudson gyermekjogi ügyvéd. Soha nem vállal tizenhárom év alatti klienseket, de mentora úgy véli, ebben az ügyben csak ő tud segíteni.
Amint Stella belép a Barclay család otthonába, ráébred: ez az eset sokkal bonyolultabb, mint gondolta. Ráadásul maga a ház is nyugtalanító: az egész csupa műanyag, egyetlen üvegfelület sincs.
Ahogy az ügyvéd egyre közelebb kerül ahhoz, hogy feltárja a család által kétségbeesetten elrejteni kívánt titkokat, a veszély egyre szorosabban fonja körbe. Ráadásul a múltja újra helyet követel a jelenében, olyan feszültséget eredményezve, amelyre egyáltalán nem is számított...
Mindenki gyanúsított a dadus halálában. Még Rose is. De hogyan lehet kideríteni az igazságot, ha mindenki hazudik?
Sarah Pekkanen New York Times bestsellerszerző thrillerében egy olyan otthon ajtaja tárul fel előttünk, ahova nem szívesen látogatnánk el, de a kíváncsiság mégis arra késztet bennünket, hogy lépjünk be az ismeretlenbe.
