Lieutenant Eve Dallas is searching for a Casanova killer with a deadly appetite for seduction ... Dante had been courting his victim in cyberspace for weeks before meeting her in person. A few sips of wine and a few hours later, she was dead. The murder weapon: a rare, usually undetectable date-rape drug with a street value of a quarter of a million dollars. Detective Eve Dallas is playing and replaying the clues in her mind. The candlelight, the music, the rose petals strewn across the bed - a scene set for seduction that's gone horribly wrong. He hadn't intended to kill her. But now that he has, he is left with only two choices: to either hole up in fear and guilt. Or start hunting again.
