When a young pregnant woman vanishes the night of a baby shower, Eve Dallas finds herself juggling a grisly double homicide and a personal favor for her best friend Mavis—because apparently, friendship means taking on cases that should go to Missing Persons. The missing woman, a recent transplant from London with barely any connections in New York, has left behind eerie signs of preparation: a wrapped gift, a packed hospital bag, and a chilling silence. As Eve digs into the lives of wealthy accounting firm employees tied to the murders, she discovers a web of deals and deceptions that might just connect to Tandy's disappearance—and puts her in the crosshairs of a particularly vicious killer. With Roarke's brilliant mind helping her crack the financial puzzle and time slipping away, Eve races to find answers before it's too late for a woman she's promised Mavis she'd bring home safe.

Dark, propulsive noir meets smoldering tension. Industrial beats and moody synth-pop underscore obsessive investigation. Layer in sultry R&B and brooding alt-rock—danger and desire intertwined. Futuristic yet gritty. Think Massive Attack, The Killers, FKA twigs. Suspenseful, intimate, relentless.
