More about the book

In this gripping crime thriller, a small, concealed weapon unleashes chaos, revealing a killer hidden among the crowd. Jenna, excited to be at a New York club with her friends, dreams of handing her demo to guitarist Jake Kincade. When Jake notices her, it feels like the best night of her life—but it quickly turns tragic. Minutes later, Jake finds Jenna in the alley, disoriented and pale. Despite his attempts to help, she succumbs to a mysterious attack, having been injected with a lethal substance. Jake's girlfriend, Nadine, realizes the urgency and calls Lieutenant Eve Dallas for assistance. As Dallas investigates, toxicology reports reveal a dangerous cocktail of drugs in Jenna's system, along with infectious agents in the needle used. The investigation probes into Jenna's life—was she being harassed, engaging in risky behavior, or caught up in something sinister? However, no clear motives emerge for why this levelheaded sixteen-year-old, passionate about her music, would be targeted. This uncertainty deeply troubles Dallas. If Jenna was merely an unfortunate victim of a deranged individual, it suggests that more lives could be at risk.
