Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors -- and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case -- with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III -- or Win, as his few friends call him -- doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism -- and that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice.

Verraad. Misdaad. Moord. Het is kinderspel
Před třemi lety pronesl sportovní agent Myron Bolitar smuteční řeč na pohřbu svého klienta, slavného basketbalového trenéra Grega Downinga. Jejich vztah měl bouřlivou minulost – nejprve proti sobě stáli coby rivalové, později se z nich překvapivě stali obchodní partneři. Myron se s minulostí vyrovnal a šel dál. Tedy to si myslel do chvíle, než mu do kanceláře nakráčeli dva federální agenti a chtěli vědět, kde se Greg nachází. Podle nich totiž žije – a navíc byl spatřen na místě dvojnásobné vraždy a je hlavní podezřelý. Šokovaný Myron potřebuje zjistit, co se skutečně stalo. Spolu se svým dlouholetým přítelem a kolegou Winem se pouští do pátrání. Čím víc se však blíží k odpovědím o Gregově zmizení, tím nebezpečnější svět se před nimi otevírá. Tajemství, lži a vražedné spiknutí sahající hluboko do minulosti roztáčejí napínavý příběh…
