Cílevědomá, ale poněkud lehkovážná novinářka Eva má pořádně ostré lokty, a když o něco usiluje, jde doslova přes mrtvoly. Přílišným tlačením na pilu však nejenže přijde o perspektivního přítele, ale zadělá si také na vážné problémy v zaměstnání. Hrdinka si chce udržet aspoň skomírající kariéru, když už se jí zhroutilo soukromí, a tak naléhá na svého bratra - policejního vyšetřovatele - aby jí poskytl exkluzivní informace k sérii brutálních vražd a nevysvětlitelných únosů, které kriminálka aktuálně řeší. Kvůli své umanutosti ale Eva doslova strčí hlavu do oprátky. Nebezpečná skupina zabijáků, které policie už mnoho měsíců nemůže přijít na kobylku, je totiž všetečné reportérce v patách... Dřív, než Evě dojde, že jí hrozí smrtelné nebezpečí, stává se obětí únosu a je uvězněna. Tvrdohlavá potřeba dosáhnout za každou cenu svého se jí tak stává osudnou a mladá žena se ocitá na velmi tenké hranici mezi životem a smrtí. Ztratí svobodu i možnost rozhodovat sama za sebe, a přijde taky o důstojnost. Jediné, co jí zůstává, je ochromující strach.

Fourteen years after fleeing Kenya with her baby daughter, Corinne returned in the summer of 2004 to meet Lketinga and his family again in their village, Barsaloi. Nervous as she was, and uncertain as to how he would react on seeing her again, she found to her relief that she was welcomed unreservedly by all those who remembered her - by Lketinga, who still thought of her as his 'wife number one', by his brother, James, now a schoolteacher and especially by Lketinga's mother, who had looked after Corinne with such care all those years before. Corinne Hofmann revisits an area of a country which she cares about passionately, describing in her immensely readable style the changes she saw after her time away, and once again bringing to life the atmosphere and characters in the Masai village.

Ullmann has an extraordinary touch’ Gaby Wood, Observer ‘A seriously well-written meditation on seduction, family, and the need to find a home. It ranges in style from carnivalesque debauchery to stone-cold, limpid realism, all apparently glittering with an insouciant application of fantasy’ Herald

It has been said that Elizabeth Bathory was the model for Bram Stoker's nineteenth century novel "Dracula." There is no doubt that Stoker heard the legends that have been thrilling audiences for centuries before writing his famous book in Dublin in 1897.

Bathory's victims were often innocent young girls, stolen from their families and trapped alone and defenseless, but...
