In the middle of a nightmare about many-armed, fang-toothed babies, Eve got a call to investigate a murder. The victim, Natalie Copperfield, had been found by her flight-attendant sister, Palma, who’d come to visit. She had been bound and had her mouth taped. Then, the killer had tortured her. He, or she, had then removed the tape from her mouth before strangling her with the tie from her bathrobe.

To make matters worse, when Eve went to question Natalie’s fiancé, she found him dead. He had also been bound and strangled, but not tortured. As at Natalie’s apartment, the data and communication system had been stolen. Since the young couple worked for the same accounting firm, Eve was sure someone had something they’d kill to hide.

On top of all this, Mavis’ very pregnant friend, Tandy Willowby, disappeared, just as her baby was due. Eve must find a killer and Tandy in a very short time. To do that, she’ll need the help of her partner, Detective Delia Peabody, husband Roarke, and anyone else in the department she can shake loose.
