It is 2058, New York City: Bryna Bankhead carefully dresses for her date with Dante, a man she's only ever spoken to online. By the end of the night, rose petals are scattered, poetry has been quoted - and Bryna has been murdered. Lieutenant Eve Dallas sets off on the trail of a Casanova killer with a deadly appetite for seduction...

In a New York City fifty years in the future, Detective Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a brutal crime - an elderly grocery owner killed for nothing more than snacks. For the first time, Peabody is primary detective on the case, which means she has to get used to a new level of responsibility. Good thing she learned the ropes from a master like Eve.
