Eve Dallas is back, standing up for the dead, making sure they receive justice and nobody forgets them. She has a busy day, when the murder of a woman living on the streets puts her on-scene for the discovery of the bodies of a mother and unborn child, murdered nearly forty years before.
The killers of the first woman were sloppy, so the body was discovered within hours, and the investigation that follows leads to several different kinds of justice -- and heartbreak for several families, when one killer tries to cover his tracks. Not a smart move, when it comes to Dallas and her team.
Uncovering the identity of the murdered mother and child leads to more heartbreak as more secrets are uncovered, and justice long overdue catches up with the cold-hearted, manipulative killers.
Another triumph for Dallas and her team, and more development of relationships, which are always a large, enjoyable part of the series. I love how people continue to grow together and learn from each other and new characters and situations are introduced. The nearly silent commentary and exploration of the value of a human life, of the individual, comes through clear and poignantly as Dallas fights for justice and truth, for child and mother and a woman who seemed to have been thrown away, but all of whom were loved and mourned.
