Ocean Drive 7 on uljas, miljoonien arvoinen rantatalo rikkaassa Hamptonsissa. Talon jyhkeä, goottilaistyylinen julkisivu kätkee kuitenkin sisälleen kammottavan menneisyyden: talossa on tapahtunut useita raakoja murhia, joita ei ole koskaan ratkaistu. Hylättyä, autiota ja huhujen mukaan kirottua taloa kutsutaan Murhataloksi, ja paikalliset kiertävät sen kaukaa. Newyorkilainen rikostutkija Jenna Murphy vietti lapsuutensa kesät Hamptonsissa, muttei ole käynyt alueella lapsuusvuosien jälkeen. Kun Jenna siirtyy poliisiksi Hamptonsiin, hollywoodilainen kykyagentti ja tämän rakastajatar löydetään murhattuina autiosta Murhatalosta. Raa’at murhat käynnistävät tapahtumaketjun, jonka keskiöön Jenna joutuu. Jennan on pantava oma henkensä peliin paljastaakseen totuuden – ennen kuin Murhatalo vaatii lisää uhreja. "Murhatalo" on täynnä tapahtumia ja käänteitä – ei ole ihme, että James Patterson on maailman myydyin trillerikirjailija. Teos on hyytävän jännittävä ja koukuttava tarina murhista, rahasta ja kostosta.

But the baby is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile Yuki Castellano is trying a case against a woman accused of killing her husband. The evidence is overwhelming and Yuki is certain of winning a conviction. But the accused is a renowned heart surgeon and her attorney specialises in criminal defence of the wealthy.
