Hochspannend – mitreißend – meisterhaft Hollywood 1927: Mary Rourke, eigentlich PR-Frau einer Film-Company, wird in die Villa von Norma Carlton gerufen, einem Star des amerikanischen Stummfilms. Norma hat in einem geheimen Film mit dem Titel Devil's Playground mitgespielt, der angeblich einen tödlichen Fluch auf alle an der Produktion Beteiligten gelegt hat. Als Mary die Schauspielerin tot auffindet, bekommt sie von ihrem Filmboss den Auftrag, diesen Mord zu vertuschen. Doch damit setzt sie eine Serie von Morden in Gang, wie selbst Hollywood sie noch nicht gesehen hat. Denn nichts ist, wie es scheint, und Mary kann niemanden trauen – nicht einmal in ihren eigenen Augen. Ein grandioser Thriller über Ruhm, falsches Glück und gefährliche Illusionen. Ein absolutes Meisterwerk!

Edward Hyde has a strange gift-or a curse-he keeps secret from all but his physician. He experiences two realities, one real, the other a dreamworld state brought on by a neurological condition. When murders in Victorian Edinburgh echo the ancient Celtic threefold death ritual, Captain Edward Hyde hunts for those responsible. In the process he becomes entangled in a web of Celticist occultism and dark scheming by powerful figures. The answers are there to be found, not just in the real world but in the sinister symbolism of Edward Hyde's otherworld. He must find the killer, or lose his mind

È il 1935 e, mentre in Europa soffiano già i primi venti della furia nazista, nel cuore della Cecoslovacchia c'è un luogo difficile da raggiungere, in cima a una rupe. Lì, in un ospedale psichiatrico ospitato in un castello medievale, sono rinchiusi i "Sei Figli del Diavolo", i serial killer più malvagi d'Europa. Da Hedvika Valentová, nota come la Vegetariana, a Pavel Zeleny, detto il Taglialegna, fino al più temibile di tutti, Vojtech Skalá, che per la sua incrollabile fede nel male è soprannominato il "Demone". È lì che è diretto Viktor Kosárek, giovane e brillante psichiatra praghese. Seduto nel treno, mentre attraversa lande deserte e tetri paesaggi rurali, Viktor sente di non avere paura: le sue nuove tecniche di ipnosi e sonno cosciente sono pronte per essere testate, e lui non vede l'ora di schiudere i segreti che si celano nelle menti disturbate dei sei pazienti, e di esplorare il lato oscuro della loro personalità. E, forse, perfino di curarli. Ma quando una serie di efferati omicidi comincia a scuotere Praga, Viktor, vista la sua conoscenza approfondita degli abissi dell'animo umano, si troverà coinvolto nelle indagini del detective Smolák. Al giovane psichiatra sarà chiaro che il male ha un modo tutto suo di insinuarsi ovunque, anche dove meno ci si aspetta di trovarlo. E lo imparerà a sue spese.
