Ich kenne ein Geheimnis. Das gleiche Geheimnis, das auch der Schülerrat – die superreiche, superschöne Elite der Adamson-Jungenakademie – kennt. Jenica Woodruff, das einzige Mädchen, das vor mir die Akademie besucht hat, hat nicht Selbstmord begangen: Sie wurde ermordet. Jetzt stellt auch mir jemand nach. Egal, wohin ich auch gehe, der Mörder folgt mir. Wie sich herausstellt, ist meine neue Highschool genauso unsicher, wie es meine alte war. Ich bin nicht Mitglied des Schülerrats.

Mein Geheimnis ist gelüftet. Ich bin offiziell mit dem gesamten Schülerrat zusammen. Das ist aber nicht das Einzige, was an der Adamson-Jungenakademie nicht der Norm entspricht. Viel bemerkenswerter finde ich die Morde, auch wenn mein Vater da anderer Meinung ist. Er ist nicht gerade begeistert von meinem Scheinverlobten oder den anderen vier Jungen, die meinen Puls zum Rasen bringen.

Ich habe ein Geheimnis. Die sündhaft schönen Mitglieder des Schülerrats – Church, Ranger, Spencer, Micah und Tobias – dürfen es aber nicht herausfinden. Weil mein Vater der Schulleiter ist, drangsalieren sie mich bereits genug. Sie dürfen also nicht erfahren, dass ich das einzige Mädchen an dieser Schule bin. Außerdem trage ich sowieso lieber Jungenklamotten.

Welche Art von Mädchen liebt die Sünde so wie ich? Was für eine Art Mensch gedeiht darin? Ich bin die Prinzessin auf einem schmutzigen Thron aus Motorrädern und Wahnsinn, Tochter des Präsidenten des Death by Daybreak Motorcycle Club. Die vier engsten Offiziere meines Vaters–Männer in Blut, Tod und Sünde gekleidet–sind meine Ehrengarde, in Lederwesten und Tattoos gehüllt. Nur, dass sie überhaupt nichts Ehrenhaftes an sich haben.

Convinta che qualcuno stia cercando di ucciderla, la ricca Jane Wetherby chiede a Hamish Macbeth di trascorrere il Natale con lei e con un gruppo di amici presso la sua clinica termale, che sorge sull'isola di Eileencraig. Tormentato da un brutto raffreddore e senza progetti per il periodo natalizio, Hamish accetta, anche se pensa che Jane sia soltanto una donna po' strampalata. Sull'isola, però, l'atmosfera è assai cupa: gli abitanti sono scontrosi e quasi aggressivi e gli altri ospiti sono assai gelidi nei suoi confronti.

Hamish Macbeth riceve la notizia che c'è stato un omicidio ad Arrat House, in cui vive il ricchissimo Arthur Trent ma, sebbene sia un poliziotto, non si scapicolla per raggiungere la (presunta) scena del crimine. Trent infatti è famoso – e famigerato – per i suoi scherzi, anche di pessimo gusto, e Hamish ne sa qualcosa, dato che, tempo prima, era stato chiamato proprio ad Arrat House per indagare su un delitto, scoprendo poi che la "vittima" era il maggiordomo di Trent coperto di sangue finto. Stavolta, però, la vittima c'è ed è proprio l'incorreggibile burlone Arthur Trent.
