Una mujer (Katie Bishop) de clase acomodada ha sido asesinada en Brighton y su marido (Brian Bishop) no parece ser capaz de recordar mucho, como por ejemplo tener una amante (Sophie Harrington) a quien supuestamente visito mientras su esposa fallecia y quien, por tanto, podria servirle de coartada. Pero Brian no recuerda muchas cosas. Ni tener un romance extramarital ni haber matado a esa misma amante, convirtiendola en la segunda victima de un asesino en serie que parece tener demasiadas cosas en comun con Brian Bishop. Tanto en comun que toda la novela gira en torno a una unica idea: El 71 por ciento de las victimas de homicidio fueron asesinadas por alguien a quien conocian, porque aparentemente es una linda cuidad costera, pero cuenta con un inframundo criminal a la altura de Loa Angeles o Londres. Ese asesino en serie se hace llamar a si mismo El Millonario de Tiempo, dada la extraordinaria capacidad que tiene para invertir cuantas horas sean necesarias como para conocer en profundidad los habitos de sus nuevas victimas. Ademas, ese homicida tiene su propia firma: pone una mascara antigas de la II Guerra Mundial en el rostro de las mujeres a quienes mata. Eso sin olvidar otras formas de actuar que tal vez acaben por delatarlo: En los bolsillos con cremallera de la chaqueta, ademas de la cartera y el movil, llevaba un rollo de cinta adhesiva plateada, un cuchillo, cloroformo y un frasco de Rohypnol, la droga fulminante llamada tambien de la violacion. Y otras cosas nunca se sabia cuando iba a necesitarlas. Un nuevo caso del Inspector Roy Grace.
