Publisher's Synopsis
When Eve Dallas is called to a multiple homicide at the Swisher family home, she discovers a blood-bath. The killers breached an elaborate security system, slashed the throat of each victim while they slept in less than ten minutes. But they did make one mistake. They left a survivor... While her parents, brother and bestfriend lay in their beds, oblivious to the danger, nine-year-old Nixie Swisher was in the kitchen and saw far too much. Offering Nixie temporary refuge is easy, but dealing with the emotional needs of a girl who has lost everything isn't. Eve can promise Nixie justice, but she's chasing professionals who don't like leaving loose ends. And leaving Nixie Swisher alive is one loose end too many...
