Ein Haus. Neun Gäste. Unzählige Motive für einen Mord...In dem beschaulichen Küstenort Hamlet Wick versammeln sich neun Gäste zu einer besonderen Party. Der Besitzer des Herrenhauses Hamlet Hall, ein etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel, hat zum Krimidinner im Stil der 1920er-Jahre geladen, und jeder muss die ihm zugeteilte Rolle spielen. Kaum hat das Spektakel begonnen, wird ein Gast mit einer tödlichen Kopfverletzung aufgefunden. Ein Unfall kann ausgeschlossen werden. Bis zum Eintreffen der Polizei darf niemand das Haus verlassen. Doch inmitten der Partygesellschaft befindet sich ein Mörder, der nach seinen eigenen Regeln spielt. Kann ihn jemand aufhalten, ehe er sein nächstes Opfer erwählt?

November 1924: An Bord des Ozeandampfers Endeavor wird ein älterer Gentleman tot am Fuß einer Treppe aufgefunden. Schiffsoffizier Timothy Birch glaubt zunächst an einen tragischen Unfall. Der starrköpfige Scotland-Yard-Ermittler James Temple, der sich zufällig unter den rund zweitausend Passagieren des Schiffs befindet, ist da entschieden anderer Ansicht. Es gelingt ihm, den Todesfall mit einem verschwundenen Gemälde in Verbindung zu bringen. Doch damit hat die Detektivarbeit erst begonnen: Die Endeavor ist noch vier Tagesreisen von New York entfernt. Birch und Temple bleibt nicht viel Zeit, ehe der Mörder straffrei von Bord spaziert - oder erneut zuschlägt ...
