A lethal needle in a crowded club transforms a teenager’s dream night into a ruthless murder in J.D. Robb’s high-stakes thriller.
When starry-eyed sixteen-year old Jenna scores backstage access to her favorite band, she believes her demo demo could jumpstart a music career. Instead, she crosses paths with a sadistic killer harboring an untraceable, injected poison. By the time guitarist Jake discovers her lifeless body, foul play from an innocuous face in the crowd is the only explanation.
Called to investigate by Jake’s girlfriend, Lieutenant Eve Dallas catalogs eclectic toxins combining to rapidly shut down the healthy victim’s organs. With infectious agents meant to wound beyond the morgue, Eve fears a serial killer nursing extreme hatred. But without clues linking clean-cut Jenna to enemies or risky behavior, the randomness makes any clubgoer potential prey.
As the methodical massacre toll threatens to climb, Eve enters a terrifying race against a hidden evil. Will unmasking an average-looking murderer in the crowd expose Jenna as tragic collateral, or lethal intention to continue contaminating victims? J.D. Robb detonates chilling suspense over who wields the next murderous syringe.
