When Captain MacMasters & his wife return from their vacation they find the body of their sixteen-year-old daughter. Brutally assaulted & murdered, Deena went through hell before she died, & her parents want the best cop there is to investigate - Lieutenant Eve Dallas. As Eve & her team start to look for the perp, he seems to be one step ahead: fake ID, avoiding CCTV, uploading a virus into the victim's security system, & it looks as if Deena may not have been the only victim he has lined up.

Another one in this series that I have supposedly already read but don't remember a thing about it. I'm beginning to think someone used that flashy thing from 'Men in Black' on me. It's a good book in the series but if this was a TV show I would say this is more a filler episode than one that significantly moves the narrative on. There's a little lighter fare with the wedding of Eve's friends, Charles & Louise, & she juggles the case with her duties as Louise's Matron of Honor. Finally, I know she is not the main character, but sometimes I'd like Peabody to have the chance to shine a bit more.

TW: if sexual assault is a trigger for you, then please note that the details on this & the injuries left are rather graphic so please be aware of that.
