Sanger Rainsford and his friend, Whitney, are traveling to Rio de Janeiro to hunt the region's big cat: the jaguar. After a discussion about how they are "the hunters" instead of "the hunted", Whitney goes to bed and Rainsford remains on deck. While Whitney returns to his quarters Rainsford hears gunshots and climbs onto the yacht's rail to get a better view of the nearby Ship-Trap Island, and falls overboard. After he realizes he cannot swim back to the boat, he swims to Ship-Trap, which is notorious for shipwrecks. He finds a palatial chateau inhabited by two Cossacks: the owner, General Zaroff, and his gigantic deaf-mute servant, Ivan. Zaroff, another big-game hunter, knows of Rainsford from his published account of hunting snow leopards in Tibet. After inviting him to dinner, General Zaroff tells Rainsford he is bored of hunting because it no longer challenges him; he has moved to Ship-Trap in order to capture shipwrecked sailors, whether due to storms or by luring vessels onto the rocks. He sends the sailors into the jungle supplied with food, a knife, and hunting clothes to be his quarry, although he also runs a "school" of sorts to prepare sailors for this hunt should they be out of shape or disoriented from being washed ashore. After a three-hour head start, he sets out to hunt and kill them.

Para sobreviver, o caçador nada até uma ilha misteriosa conhecida pelo nome de "Armadilha de navios". E é nesta ilha que Rainsford irá participar do jogo mais perigoso de sua vida.

O Jogo Mais Perigoso

Entre los pasajeros que embarcan en Nueva York en el S. S. Pendragon con destino a las Bermudas se encuentra Matthew Kelton, especialista en resolución de enigmas. El Pendragon es un buque de pequeño tonelaje que transporta mercancías diversas y, en caso de necesidad, también algunos pasajeros acomodados en los doce camarotes disponibles. Kelton, en viaje de placer, está deseando disfrutar del crucero de dos días, pero cuando empieza a instalarse, se da cuenta de que alguien ha registrado su equipaje. Tras comprobar que no falta nada, se olvida del asunto, dispuesto a echarse una siesta antes de cenar, pero un mozo se lo impide al comunicarle que el capitán Galvin desea hablar con él de inmediato: han encontrado muerto a un pasajero en el camarote B y no hay duda de que se trata de un crimen. Samuel P. Cleghorn, un acaudalado hombre de negocios, ha recibido un violento golpe en la cabeza y ha muerto prácticamente en el acto. Dado que el hombre seguía vivo cuando el barco largó amarras, está claro que hay que buscar al culpable en el barco. El problema es que Kelton solo dispone de cuarenta y ocho horas para desenmascararlo antes de que la nave llegue a su destino… Un ágil y brillante clásico de la novela detectivesca que plantea una original variante del misterio de cuarto cerrado.
