She was one of the most sought after women in the world. A top model who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted - even another woman's man. And now she was dead, the victim of a brutal murder. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas put her professional life on the line to take the case when suspicion fell on her best friend, the other woman in the fatal love triangle.

Beneath the façade of glamour, Eve found that the world of high fashion thrived on an all-consuming obsession for youth and fame. One that led from the runway to the dark underworld of New York City where drugs could be found to fulfill any desire - for a price . . .

Manhattan. 2058. Lieutenant Eve Dallas, the protagonist in this police procedural, is investigating a "conspiracy of slaughter" fostered by the creation of a new hallucinogenic drug, an illegal yet highly desired sexual stimulant holding a lethal promise of immortality AND providing the motivation for violent murder. With the skill of a full cast, Susan Ericksen adroitly portrays both sides of Eve--the focused, sharp, police interrogator and the soon-to-be-married romantic. She also captures Eve's multimillionaire Irish lover, the wedding-dress designer who is built like a bus, the willowy Pandora, the crusty Detective of Illegals, the single but perpetually hopeful Assistant Officer Peabody, and a publicity-hungry celebrity couple.
