Några dagar senare hittas den aktade fastighetsmagnaten Karl Hofvensköld flytandes i Coral Bay kommuns vattenreservoar och uppståndelsen blir stor. Vem har torterat svenskarna och varför har de mördats just på Cypern? Kriminalinspektör Nikki Swahn får i uppgift att tillsammans med polisen i Coral Bay lösa morden samtidigt som hon även måste stötta sin vännina vars man plötsligt försvinner. När ytterligare ett mord uppdagas börjar tiden bli knapp och spåren leder till den cypriotiska maffian.
