In a time when technology can reveal the darkest of secrets, there's only one place to hide a crime of passion - in the heart. . .
The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead . . .to investigate every scandalous rumor . . .to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

For Lieutenant Eve Dallas, the protagonist in this mid-21st century police procedural, attack is the behavior of choice. Susan Ericksen adroitly portrays this emotionally complex detective with staccato bursts of anger, as well as with soft musings during times of tenderness. The result is a character strong enough to confront a serial killer, soft enough to find murder repellent, and well-developed enough to walk off the written page. While the supporting characters are stereotypical, Erickson presents the crusty commander, the shattered daughter of one of the victims, the ambitious yet totally unprincipled journalist, the cagey Irish lover, and the futuristic android servant with the individuality one would expect from a multicast production, not a single narrator.
