Maskenball auf dem Anwesen der Familie Hardcastle. Am Ende des Abends wird Evelyn, die Tochter des Hauses, sterben. Und das nicht nur ein Mal. Tag für Tag wird sich ihr mysteriöser Tod wiederholen - so lange, bis der Mörder endlich gefasst ist. Familie Hardcastle lädt zu einem Ball auf ihr Anwesen Blackheath. Alle Gäste amüsieren sich, bis ein fataler Pistolenschuss die ausgelassene Feier beendet. Evelyn Hardcastle, die Tochter des Hauses, wird tot aufgefunden. Unter den Gästen befindet sich jemand, der mehr über diesen Tod weiß, denn am selben Tag hat Aiden Bishop eine seltsame Nachricht erreicht: 'Heute Abend wird jemand ermordet werden. Es wird nicht wie ein Mord aussehen, und man wird den Mörder daher nicht fassen. Bereinigen Sie dieses Unrecht, und ich zeige Ihnen den Weg hinaus.' Tatsächlich wird Evelyn nicht nur ein Mal sterben. Bis der Mörder entlarvt ist, wiederholt sich der dramatische Tag in Endlosschleife. Doch damit nicht genug: Immer, wenn ein neuer Tag anbricht, erwacht Aiden im Körper eines anderen Gastes und muss das Geflecht aus Feind und Freund neu entwirren. Jemand will ihn mit allen Mitteln davon abhalten, Blackheath jemals wieder zu verlassen.Stimmen zum Buch'Stellen Sie sich darauf ein, dass dieses Buch Sie völlig umhauen wird ... ein berauschendes Verwirrspiel und ausgesprochen originelles Leseerlebnis.'
