Survivor in Death

by J. D. Robb

A family is massacred — and the only witness is a nine-year-old girl.

No affairs, no criminal connections, no DNA and no clues. Eve Dallas may be the best cop in the city - but the Swisher case has her baffled. The only survivor is the daugther Nixie, who was in the kitchen when the murders happened.
