Lieutenant Eve Dallas works the dark side of New York City in 2059, where criminals use advanced technology to deadly effect. Someone wants diamonds from an old heist badly enough to commit murder. The gems have left a trail of violence spanning decades, and now the killing has reached Dallas's jurisdiction. She must navigate the criminal underworld to locate the missing jewels before more bodies pile up. The NYPSD detective combines street smarts with cutting-edge investigative tools as she closes in on the truth. Dallas faces killers who will stop at nothing to claim their prize.
