Lieutenant Eve Dallas arrives at a Downing Street apartment where the Reinhold couple lies stabbed and bludgeoned on their floor. The evidence points to their twenty-six-year-old son Jerry as the killer. Jerry has a history of job failures and relationship problems, but those who knew him never suspected he could commit such violence. After stealing money from his murdered parents, Jerry discovers he enjoys brutality and decides to settle scores with everyone who wronged him. Eve and her team know Jerry killed his parents and understand his methods and motives. The challenge becomes predicting his next target as he works through his list of grievances. With Thanksgiving approaching in 2060, Eve must balance hosting Roarke's extended Irish family while hunting a killer who grows more dangerous with each attack.
