Mystery Woman Sleuth
While investigating the sighting of a mountain lion in
L.A.'s Griffith Park, Eve comes across the body of a
teenage boy who has been shot to death execution-style.
The son of a Russian émigré scientist, the victim was an
exemplary student with no ties to gangs or drugs. Was his
murder a random act of violence, the result of a teenage
love triangle, or the work of the Russian Mafia? Eve, also
the child of Russian immigrants, feels an instant rapport
with the boy's grief-stricken father, Sasha Lukin, a
cultured old-world gentleman who she senses is not telling
her all he knows about his son's murder. Forced to partner on the story with her newsroom rival,
police reporter Josh Brandywine, whose interest in her
turns disconcertingly personal, Eve uncovers connections
between the victim's family and a fascinating, chameleon-
like FBI agent and a brutal Russian mobster who warns Eve
not to pry into the teenager's death. Complicating Eve's
pursuit of the story is the arrival at her door of a young
Russian man who claims to be her long-lost cousin. Is he
truly a link to the family she thought she'd lost or an
impostor sent by the Russian mob to spy on her? As the violence surrounding the Lukin family escalates to
encompass Eve, and as she moves closer to unraveling the
motives of a brilliant, vengeful killer, Prisoner of
Memory races to a thrilling resolution that holds
surprising personal revelations about Eve herself.
