Publisher's Synopsis
2060 New York. Some murders receive more attention than others, especially those in which the victim is a prominent businessman, found in his Park Avenue apartment, tied to the bed, strangled with cords of black velvet. Thomas Anders' scandalous death is a source of speculation to the public - and humiliation to his family. But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. A security breach indicates that the killer was someone connected to the family, but everyone's alibi checks out. Was this a kinky sex game gone wrong or planned execution? It's up to Eve Dallas to solve the case.
