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 multi-millionaire 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.
