      Gli indiziati sono tutti ben noti a Eve Dallas, tenente della squadra Omicidi di New York. La prima – l’indiziata numero uno – è Mavis, la sua amica del cuore, l’unica che, negli anni, ha saputo capire le difficoltà e le incertezze di una donna complessa, dura eppure fragile come lei. Il secondo è Leonardo, celeberrimo stilista di moda, l’uomo cui Eve ha affidato il compito di disegnare e realizzare il suo vestito da sposa (sì, Eve ha accettato la sorprendente proposta di matrimonio di Roarke, l’affascinante miliardario con il quale ha intrecciato un’intensa storia d’amore). A complicare le cose, c’è poi il fatto che Mavis è innamorata di Leonardo e che la vittima è Pandora, una delle top-model più ricche e ammirate… ed è stata uccisa proprio nell’atelier del fashion designer, dopo una furibonda lite con la stessa Mavis. Naturalmente Eve si convince immediatamente dell’innocenza dell’amica, anche perché nel giro di pochi giorni vengono commessi altri tre omicidi che indirizzano le indagini verso il traffico di una nuova droga sempre più popolare nell’ambiente della moda. Ma, per scagionare Mavis, Eve dovrà infiltrarsi in un giro a lei del tutto estraneo, dominato dalla necessità di essere belli, giovani e affascinanti. E le basterà guardare appena sotto la superficie per scoprire quale inferno nasconda il mondo dorato dei ricchi e famosi…

      Si chiamava Cicely Towers ed era un procuratore distrettuale di New York. Sempre elegante, disinvolta, stimata da tutti. Ma ora giace riversa sul marciapiede di un quartiere malfamato, con la gola tagliata. Per Eve Dallas, tenente della squadra Omicidi, è ben più di un semplice delitto: la maggior parte dei poliziotti conosceva e ammirava la vittima ed è pronta a fare qualsiasi cosa pur di trovare il responsabile. Però il caso non è semplice: perché una donna come Cicely si era spinta in quella zona degradata? E quale può mai essere il movente per un crimine così efferato? L'unica strada aperta per Eve è quella delle innumerevoli relazioni - professionali ma non solo che la donna aveva in città: un lungo elenco d'indiziati, quasi tutti eccellenti. E, in cima all'elenco, spicca il nome di Roarke, l'enigmatico miliardario di origine irlandese con cui Eve sta vivendo un appassionato rapporto sentimentale... Combattuta e inquieta, Eve è costretta a muoversi nell'ombra. Ma poi l'assassino colpisce ancora, in modo ancora più incomprensibile...

Sin da piccola Emma ha adorato le storie d'amore coronate da un lieto fine, ma non avrebbe mai immaginato che la sua passione si sarebbe trasformata in un lavoro: allestire addobbi floreali per i matrimoni. Sa tutto sui fiori e i bouquet da sposa... e anche sugli uomini. È la rubacuori del quartetto, ma è anche molto esigente: non smetterà mai di cercare l'uomo che sarà in grado di cambiarle la vita.

Ma quando i due si confessano reciproco amore, le cose in agenzia iniziano a farsi difficili. I legami duraturi non sono mai stati il forte di Jack, mentre Emma cerca una storia che sia per sempre.

Three strangers with nothing in common - and no obvious reasons for killing themselves. Lieutenant Eve Dallas found the deaths suspicious. And her instincts paid off when autopsies revealed small burns on the brains of the victims. Was it a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder? Eve's investigation turned to the provocative world of virtual-reality games - where the same techniques used to create joy and desire could also prompt the mind to become the weapon of its own destruction...

      Eve Dallas, tenente della Omicidi di New York, ha finalmente ceduto al serrato corteggiamento dell’affascinante miliardario Roarke, e i due si sono sposati. La coppia si sta godendo una romantica luna di miele all’Olympus Grand Hotel − un resort attrezzato con casinò, bagni termali, atelier di moda e altri lussuosi passatempi −, quando un tragico evento spezza l’incanto. Un giovane ingegnere informatico è rinvenuto cadavere nella sua stanza, impiccato. Gli indizi inducono a pensare a un suicidio, ma Eve non ne è affatto convinta. In più, tornata a New York, si ritrova a dover far luce su altri presunti suicidi: un senatore che si è lanciato da una delle finestre del Campidoglio, un celebre avvocato che è stato ritrovato coi polsi tagliati nella vasca da bagno, una manager rampante che sembra caduta da un grattacielo. E tutte le morti hanno in comune un dettaglio sorprendente: la bocca della vittima è sempre raggelata in un inquietante sorriso, quasi che la morte sia stata accompagnata − o causata? − da un piacere quasi irrefrenabile… Con la fidata collaborazione dell’agente Peabody, Eve si lancia quindi in un’indagine che la porterà a comprendere quanto fragile e ingannevole sia il filo che separa la realtà dall’illusione dei mondi virtuali, nei quali le emozioni sono forse simulate, ma la morte − quando arriva − è reale.
