On a crowded ferry, Eve Dallas investigates a blood-soaked disappearance that turns into a race against time and conscience.
First published 2009 · In Death
The Story
A tourist disappears aboard the Staten Island ferry after entering a women’s restroom where a violent crime seems to have taken place. Homicide Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her team are called in, but the evidence is puzzling: there is lots of blood, no body, and no clear explanation for how the missing woman vanished.
As Eve digs deeper, the case widens into a tangle of lies, revenge, espionage, and unusual technology. What begins as a missing-person investigation becomes a hunt for both the victim and the killer, while the missing witness’s lost memory and the strange circumstances aboard the ferry keep the truth out of reach.
The investigation forces Eve to confront a moral dilemma where justice and the law do not line up neatly. With help from her team and Roarke, she has to decide how far she is willing to go, and what kind of justice she can live with, before the case reaches its unexpected resolution.
