Homicide detective Eve Dallas must untangle a twisted family history while a hostage\'s life hangs in the balance--in Abandoned in Death by New York Times bestselling author J.
But to solve this case she will need to find her way into a hidden place of dim light and concrete, into the distant past, and into the cold depths of a shattered mind..
What was the trigger that apparently reopened such an old wound and sent someone over the edge? When Eve discovers that other young women--who physically resemble the first victim--have vanished, the clock starts ticking louder.
Yet the clues suggest a perpetrator who\'d be roughly sixty years old, and there are no records of old crimes with a similar MO.
Eve Dallas turns to the department\'s top profiler, who confirms what seems obvious to Eve: They\'re dealing with a killer whose childhood involved some sort of trauma--a situation Eve is all too familiar with herself.
And the note: Bad Mommy , written in crayon as if by a child.
The fatal wound hidden beneath a ribbon around her neck.
The clothes, decades out of date.
But other things were very wrong--like the tattoo and piercings, clearly new.
She was clean, her hair neatly arranged, her makeup carefully applied.
The woman\'s body was found in the early morning, on a bench in a New York City playground.
Robb.
