In this gritty and gripping new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Eve Dallas fights to save the innocentβand serve justice to the guiltyβon the streets of New York.
Homicide cop Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband, Roarke, are building a brand-new school and youth shelter. They know that the hard life can lead kids toward dangerous crossroadsβand with this new project, they hope to nudge a few more of them onto the right path. For expert help, they hire child psychologist Dr. Rochelle Pickeringβwhose own brother pulled himself out of a spiral of addiction and crime with Rochelleβs support.
Lyle is living with Rochelle while he gets his life together, and heβs thrilled to hear about his sisterβs new job offer. But within hours, triumph is followed by tragedy. Returning from a celebratory dinner with her boyfriend, she finds Lyle dead with a syringe in his lap, and Eveβs investigation confirms that this wasnβt just another OD. After all his work to get clean, Lyleβs been pumped full of poisonβand a neighbor with a peephole reports seeing a scruffy, pink-haired girl fleeing the scene.
Now Eve and Roarke must venture into the gang territory where Lyle used to run, and the ugly underground world of tattoo parlors and strip joints where everyone has taken a wrong turn somewhere. They both believe in giving people a second chance. Maybe even a third or fourth. But as far as theyβre concerned, whoever gave the order on Lyle Pickeringβs murder has run out of chancesβ¦
