Zonder het te weten wordt Mitchell McDeere, briljant rechtenstudent van arme ouders, al geruime tijd in de gaten gehouden. Zodra hij afstudeert, biedt het prestigieuze juristenkantoor Bendini, Lambert & Locke hem niet alleen een zeer aantrekkelijke baan aan, maar het overlaadt de net getrouwde Mitchell ook nog eens met een zeer vorstelijk salaris, een schitterende auto, een prachtig huis met een zeer lage hypotheek en talrijke bonussen. Niets laat het kantoor onbeproefd om het de uitverkoren nieuwe medewerker naar de zin te maken. Er moet natuurlijk wel wat tegenover staan: absolute loyaliteit, een negentigurige werkweek en haast onhaalbare resultaten. Na verloop van tijd begint de dodelijk vermoeide Mitchell zich ongemakkelijk te voelen in het strakke keurslijf van zijn werkgever. Wat gaat er schuil achter de respectabele façade van het kantoor en wat speelt zich af op de ontoegankelijke bovenste verdieping? Als Mitchell dan ook nog ontdekt dat geen enkele medewerker ooit de zaak verlaten heeft - tenzij horizontaal -, zien Mitchell en zijn inmiddels wanhopige vrouw Abby maar één manier om hun vrijheid terug te krijgen...

[ Penguin Readers Level 2 ] The idea for this famous story came to du Maurier one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagulls were diving and wheeling. She developed an idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him. In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food—first the seagulls, then birds of prey, and finally even small birds—all turn against mankind. The nightmarish vision appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film.

As the delicate operation proceeds, Talbot finds himself trapped in a whirl of nightmarish events involving terrorism and drugs -- and a diabolic plot that leads straight to the Pentagon.
