The #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a gripping new
thriller that pits homicide detective Eve Dallas against a conspiracy of
exploitation and evil...
New York, 2061: The place called the Pleasure Academy is a living
nightmare where abducted girls are trapped, trained for a life of abject
service while their souls are slowly but surely destroyed. Dorian, a
thirteen-year-old runaway who'd been imprisoned there, might never have
made it out if not for her fellow inmate Mina, who'd hatched the escape
plan. Mina was the more daring of the two--but they'd been equally
desperate.
Unfortunately, they didn't get away fast enough. Now Dorian is injured,
terrified, and wandering the streets of New York, and Mina lies dead
near the waterfront while Lt. Eve Dallas looks over the scene.
Mina's expensive, elegant clothes and beauty products convince Dallas
that she was being groomed, literally and figuratively, for sex
trafficking--and that whoever is investing in this high-overhead
operation expects windfall profits. Her billionaire husband, Roarke, may
be able to help, considering his ties to the city's ultra-rich. But
Roarke is also worried about the effect this case is having on Dallas,
as it brings a rage to the surface she can barely control. No matter
what, she must keep her head clear--because above all, she is desperate
for justice and to take down those who prey on and torment the innocent.
