Echoes in Death: Chapter 1

In a future New York, Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke are driving home when a young woman, dazed and bloodied, staggers into the road in front of their car. Roarke brakes hard and Eve gets to work at once. The woman, Daphne, is taken to hospital, but her husband, a respected surgeon, is already dead in their home, which has been ransacked. Daphne cannot give much of a description of the attacker beyond calling him the devil, and the investigation begins with the people who knew the couple. Eve and her team start interviewing guests, colleagues and staff, racing to learn who this man is and where he might strike next.
