But her very first case is a chilling murder scene by the coast. A teenage girl is found murdered, encased in glass. The murder is a replica of the work of a serial killer known as the Glass Doll murderer, who entombed his victims in glass to watch them die. He would be the prime suspect but . . . HE'S ALREADY DEAD The kicker? Dove's own niece, Eden, was one of the original Glass Doll victims. When her other niece, Delta, goes missing, it looks like the copycat killer plans to repeat history in more ways than one. WILL SHE BE THE NEXT GLASS DOLL? Time is running out.
