In der Todeszone wartet der Mörder ...Diese Story ist die Chance ihres Lebens: Cecily darf als Erste den berühmten Bergsteiger Charles McVeigh interviewen, nachdem dieser innerhalb eines Jahres alle vierzehn Achttausender bestiegen hat. Die Sache hat nur einen Haken: Cecily bekommt das Interview erst, wenn sie mit ihm den letzten Gipfel, den Manaslu, erklommen hat. Die kleine Gruppe macht sich auf den Weg, doch es kommt bald zu einem tragischen Unfall. Je mehr sie sich der Todeszone nähern, desto näher kommt Cecily auch dem Mörder. Und irgendwann ist die Luft selbst zum Schreien zu dünn ...'Ein fesselnder Thriller, der Ihnen Schauer über den Rücken jagen wird.' Lucy Clarke
