Synopsis
Tough-talking no-nonsense detective Eve Dallas tackles a double murder of two whistle-blowing lovers. The killer seems to be someone from the ranks of a corrupt corporation, but all the suspects have ironclad alibis. The stakes shoot higher when Eve's husband, a tycoon, gets involved, and one of her friends is mysteriously absent from a baby shower. This futuristic caper blends cyborgs with good old-fashioned sleuthing--another winner from J.D. Robb (the male alias of super bestseller Nora Roberts).

Publisher's Note
"When a pair of young lovers, employees of a prestigious accounting firm, are brutally murdered, mid-twenty-first-century lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the case complicated by the suspicious disappearance of a pregnant woman. By the author of Memory in Death. 500,000 first printing."

Eve Dallas has a grisly double homicide to solve when two young lovers-both employees of the same prestigious accounting firm-are brutally killed on the same night. It doesn't leave Eve a lot of leftover time to put together a baby shower for her buddy Mavis, but that's supposedly what friends are for.

Now Mavis needs another favor. Tandy Willowby, one of the moms-to-be in Mavis's birthing class, didn't show up for the shower. A recent emigrant from London, Tandy has few friends in New York, and no family-and she was really looking forward to the party. And when Eve enters Tandy's apartment and finds a gift for Mavis's shower wrapped and ready on the table-and a packed bag for the hospital still on the floor next to it-tingling runs up and down her spine.

Normally, such a case would be turned over to Missing Persons. But Mavis wants no one else on the job but Eve-and Eve can't say no. She'll have to track Tandy down while simultaneously unearthing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city's richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against this particularly vicious killer. Luckily, her multimillionaire husband Roarke's expertise comes in handy with the number crunching. But as he mines the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all too real danger in the world of flesh and blood.

Industry Reviews
"The biggest pleasure, though, is watching [detective] Eve, an obvious charm-school dropout, get in suspects' faces."
