De doden waren haar werk. Ze leefde met ze, werkte met ze, bestudeerde ze. Ze droomde zelfs van ze. Ze vond moord niet meer schokkend, maar nog steeds walgelijk. Het eerste slachtoffer wordt op de stoep gevonden, in de stromende regen. Het tweede slachtoffer ligt in de tuin van het gebouw waar ze woonde. Inspecteur Eve Dallas ziet genoeg overeenkomsten. Zo waren beide slachtoffers mooie en zeer succesvolle vrouwen - hun glamoureuze bestaan en hun liefdesleven hielden de hele stad bezig.

Eve Dallas's "tough cop" exterior is shaken when her former foster mother demands money in exchange for protecting secrets from Dallas's childhood, a situation that becomes more complicated when the woman is found murdered.
