Two strangers agree to exchange murders: one will be the murderer of the enemy of the other, which will give both of them an indestructible alibi. Bruno proposes a deal: he will kill the wife if Guy kills Brunos’s father, who he hates. Guy refuses, but Bruno goes ahead with the plan, forcing him to honor his part by harassing and frightening Guy with guilt and terror. / La intriga de esta novela está basada en la idea de un crimen sin móviles, un crimen perfecto: dos desconocidos acuerdan asesinar cada uno al enemigo del otro, permitiendo así una coartada indestructible. Bruno –alcohólico, con problemas edípicos, homosexual latente– viaja en el mismo tren que Guy –ambicioso, trabajador, adaptado–. Empiezan a conversar y Bruno, demoníacamente, fuerza a Guy a hablar, a descubrir su punto débil: Guy quisiera verse libre de su mujer, que le traicionó y que puede ahora obstaculizar su prometedor futuro. Bruno le propone un pacto: él matará a la mujer y Guy, a su vez, al padre de Bruno, a quien éste odia. Guy rechaza tan absurdo plan y lo olvida, pero no así Bruno, quien, una vez cumplida su parte, reclama al horrorizado Guy que cumpla con la suya. Bruno, herido por la «traición» de su amigo, lo acosa, juega con el terror de Guy, quien paso a paso se va deteriorando, se va adentrando en el resbaladizo territorio de Bruno.
