Amaryllis Coltraine may have recently transferred to the New York Police and Security Department from Atlanta, but she had been a cop long enough to know how to defend herself. When Coltraine was taken down by an assailant and killed with her own weapon just steps away from her apartment, for Eve Dallas the victim wasn't simply "one of us." Dallas's friend Chief Medical Examiner Morris was in a serious relationship with Coltraine, and from all accounts, the two of them were headed toward a happy future together - until someone put an abrupt end to all of that.

The truth will need to be uncovered one layer at a time, starting with the box that arrives at Cop Central addressed to Eve, containing Coltraine's guns, her badge and ID, and a note from her killer. "You can have them back. Maybe someday soon, I'll be sending yours to somebody else." Eve Dallas, a New York City cop in 2060, doesn't take kindly to threats; she is going to break this case, whatever it takes. And that's a promise.

One of Robb's best efforts to date, great story, great characters, a roller coaster of a read.
