This mystery is the second book in the Lieutenant Eve Dallas, and her partner, the richest man in the world, Rourke who live in NYC in 2058. Both of them had horrible experiences as children that they used to get ahead in their fields. In the last book, Roarke let Eve know that he loves her, but she is having difficulty letting him through her defenses. They get into a huge fight and take a break from each other.
Eve becomes tangled up in a high profile case of the DA being murdered in a bad part of town. Eve thinks she was there on a personal matter and considering the fact that she had a nice portfolio worth a great deal of money. Some of this portfolio directs back to her ex-husband and the rest to her two children. Her son is very deep in debt due to gambling. He tried to get his mother to dig him out of debt but she refused. The daughter is getting married to a man who gambles with her brother and has a dark secret from his past.
When a rising star in the acting world is found murdered in public with her throat cut, just like the DA, Eve connects her murder to that of the DA. Eve tries to use herself as bait but it goes wrong and an innocent young woman is killed instead. The killer isn’t done and Eve is finding evidence that links the DAs son to all thee murders and sees him as a strong suspect.
This book keeps you on the edge of your seat and wondering who did it. It’s obvious that the killer is picking powerful women in order to get the glory he thinks he deserves that these women are preventing him from getting. I highly recommend this book and the series.
