Die sieben Tode der Evelyn Hardcastle
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.

Il diavolo e l'acqua scura (I narratori delle tavole)
Batavia, Indie orientali olandesi, 1634. La Saardam, col suo carico di pepe, spezie, sete e trecento anime tra passeggeri e membri dell'equipaggio, è pronta a salpare alla volta di Amsterdam. Una traversata non priva di insidie, tra malattie, tempeste e pirati in agguato in oceani ancora largamente inesplorati. Le vele ripiegate, il galeone accoglie nel suo ventre il corteo dei passeggeri aperto da Jan Haan, il governatore generale di Batavia. In sella a uno stallone bianco, seguito da un'accozzaglia di cortigiani e adulatori e da quattro moschettieri che reggono una pesante cassa dal contenuto misterioso, Haan procede impettito. Ad Amsterdam riceverà l'ambito premio per i suoi servigi: sarà uno degli enigmatici Diciassette del consiglio direttivo della Compagnia. Poco dietro avanza il palanchino che ospita Sara Wessel, sua moglie, una nobildonna dai capelli rossi decorati di gemme preziose e un segreto ben custodito nel cuore, e Lia, sua figlia, una ragazzina insolitamente pallida. Seguono dignitari e passeggeri di riguardo, ciambellani, capitani della guardia e viscontesse e, alla fine, a chiudere il corteo, un uomo coi ricci scuri appiccicati alla fronte e un altro con la testa rasata e il naso schiacciato. Sono Samuel Pipps, celebre detective appena trasferito al porto dalle segrete del forte, dov'era recluso con l'accusa di aver commesso un crimine meritevole di processo in patria, e il tenente Arent Hayes, sua fedele guardia del corpo. Le operazioni di imbarco proseguirebbero secondo un consolidato copione se un oscuro evento non funestasse la partenza. In piedi su una pila di casse, un lebbroso vestito di stracci grigi, prima di prendere stranamente fuoco, annuncia che «il signore dell'oscurità» ha decretato che ogni essere vivente a bordo della Saardam sarà colpito da inesorabile rovina e che la nave non arriverà mai alla sua meta. Non è il solo segno funesto. Non appena il galeone prende il largo, sulle vele compare uno strano simbolo: un occhio con una coda.

An impossible murder
A remarkable detective duo
A demon who may or may not exist
It's 1634 and Samuel Pipps, the world's greatest detective, is being transported from the Dutch East Indies to Amsterdam, where he is facing trial and execution for a crime he may, or may not, have committed. Travelling with him is his loyal bodyguard, Arent Hayes, who is determined to prove his friend innocent, while also on board are Sara Wessel, a noble woman with a secret, and her husband, the governor general of Batavia.
But no sooner is their ship out to sea than devilry begins to blight the voyage. A strange symbol appears on the sail. A dead leper stalks the decks. Livestock are slaughtered in the night. And then the passengers hear a terrible voice whispering to them in the darkness, promising them three unholy miracles. First: an impossible pursuit. Second: an impossible theft. Third: an impossible murder. Could a demon be responsible for their misfortunes?
With Pipps imprisoned, only Arent and Sara can solve a mystery that stretches back into their past and now threatens to sink the ship, killing everybody on board.
