When the newly promoted captain of the NYPSD and his wife return a day early from their vacation, they are looking forward to spending time with their bright and vivacious sixteen-year-old daughter, who stayed behind. Not even their worst nightmares could prepare them for the crime scene that awaits them instead. Deena has been brutally murdered in her bedroom, and her body shows signs of trauma that horrify even the toughest of cops, including our own Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who is specifically requested by the captain to investigate. When the evidence starts to pile up, Dallas and her team think they are about to arrest their perpetrator; little do they know that someone has gone to great lengths to tease and taunt them by using a variety of identities. Overconfidence can lead to careless mistakes. But for Dallas, one mistake might be all she needs to serve justice.

Another great Eve Dallas mystery
As usual, Nora Roberts, writing as J D Robb delivers. First a disclaimer - I am a hard core fan of the NR-J D Robb 'In Death' mysteries. This one did not disappoint. It is dark and somewhat gruesome but it also serves as a cautionary tale for innocent young people. This mystery, like so many for Eve Dallas is like peeling an onion and its layers lead to old and unfortunate connections.
The first victim is an NYPSD Captain's only teenage daughter and her murder is any parent's worst nightmare. The investigation leads to the world of local collegians and it features Roark's protege Jamie Lingstrom, who is now a college student. His computer genius helps Eve, Roark, and Feeney to ultimately solve the case.
As usual with Eve's cases, there is also a Roark connection and as the investigation goes on, their fantastic relationship deepens and continues to evolve even as he helps her and her team to solve the crime.
It's also really nice to see the evolution of the other people in Eve and Roark's world and to see Charles and Louise reach a major milestone.
I've added this one to my collection and can't wait for the next one.
