A series of unsolved murders with one thing in common: each of the deaths bears an eerie resemblance to the crimes depicted in classic mystery novels. The deaths lead FBI Agent Gwen Mulvey to mystery bookshop Old Devils. Owner Malcolm Kershaw had once posted online an article titled 'My Eight Favourite Murders,' and there seems to be a deadly link between the deaths and his list - which includes Agatha Christie's The ABC Murders, Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train and Donna Tartt's The Secret History.

Há algum tempo, antes de se tornar sócio da Livraria Old Devils, localizada em Boston—uma meca para os fãs de mistério—o aficionado por romances policiais, Malcolm Kershaw, também conhecido como Mal, escreveu um artigo para o blog da livraria com uma lista dos assassinatos literários mais insolúveis, quase impossíveis de serem decifrados—que ele chamou de Oito Assassinatos Perfeitos.

Londres-Boston, vol de nuit. Ted Severson rencontre la superbe et mystérieuse Lily Kintner. Ils bavardent, boivent des cocktails, et voilà que peu à peu se déclenche un jeu de la vérité au cours duquel, un détail après l'autre, Ted se dévoile à l'oreille bienveillante de Lily. Il lui avoue l'échec de son couple : sa femme, Miranda, le trompe. Il en vient même à confier qu'il la tuerait bien. Et que ce ne serait finalement que justice. Or Lily déclare le plus sérieusement du monde qu'elle est prête à l'aider. Après tout, des tas de gens méritent de mourir, pour toutes sortes de raisons.

Neuf personnes, sans aucun lien apparent entre elles, reçoivent simultanément une liste de neuf noms, dont le leur. Une simple liste, sans la moindre explication. Certains y voient une mauvaise blague, d'autre une erreur, en tout cas rien de vraiment digne d'intérêt. Mais lorsque deux d'entre eux sont retrouvés mort, un terrifiant compte à rebours s'enclenche. De nouveaux meurtres s'enchaînent mais aucun rapport entre ces neuf individus ne se dessine. Jessica Winslow, agent du FBI, est bien décidée à tirer tout cela au clair, d'autant que son nom figure également sur la liste.

Libraire spécialisé en littérature policière, Malcolm reçoit la visite surprise du FBI. L'agent Gwen Mulvey sollicite son avis sur deux affaires étranges : une série de meurtres tout droit sortie d'un roman d'Agatha Christie et un "accident" rappelant un livre de James M. Cain. Or Malcolm, quinze ans plus tôt, a publié sur son blog une liste intitulée "Huit crimes parfaits", où figuraient ces deux intrigues. Serait-il possible qu'un tueur s'en inspire aujourd'hui ?
