I familien Swift navngives nyfødte børn på en særlig måde: Et opslag i en ordbog giver navn og definition. En definition, som familien mener, vil matche barnets personlighed. Unode Swift har et hemmeligt projekt. Et storstilet forsøg på at kortlægge enhver passage, alle skjulte døre og gange i familiens palæ. Kortet viser sig at være ganske belejligt at have, da tante Schadenfreude bliver forsøgt myrdet, og nogen må finde ud af hvem i huset, der står bag. Unode påtager sig opgaven, men flere mord, en skjult skat og en række sære spor gør sagen mere og mere mystisk. Om forfatteren:Beth Lincoln (hun/hende, de/dem) har altid elsket etymologi og klassiske mordgåder, og det var kombinationen, der skaffede hende en plads på Penguin Random House WriteNow-skriveholdet med manuskriptet til hendes prisvindende debut, Familien Swift, der kommer som familiefilm på Netflix.
