No affairs. No criminal connections. No DNA. No clues. Eve Dallas may be the best cop in the city - not to mention having the lavish resources of her husband Roarke at her disposal - but the Swisher case has her baffled. The family members were murdered in their beds with brutal, military precision. The state-of-the-art security was breached, and the killers used night vision to find their way through the cozy middle-class house. Clearly, Dallas is dealing with pros. The only mistake they made was to overlook the nine-year-old girl cowering in the dark in the kitchen. . . Now Nixie Swisher is an orphan - and the sole eyewitness to a seemingly inexplicable crime.

From AudioFile:

NYPD Lt. Eve Dallas is haunted anew by echoes of her past when a family is murdered in their beds save for the 9-year-old daughter. Eve and Roarke shelter the girl in their home while working to track down the killers, who continue to murder in their quest to get to the girl. Robb's futuristic series (circa 2059) continues to feature interesting characters and crackling suspense. Susan Ericksen, who has narrated others in the series, displays her knack for creating voices that truly fit the characters' personalities. She portrays Eve with all of her determination and prickliness and is adept at the child's voice, a skill that is difficult for some narrators. Roarke's faint Irish brogue enhances his sexy persona, so well written by Robb. M.A.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
