The Red Queen dies
(Book)

"A Thomas Dunne Book."

The year is 2019, and a drug used to treat soldiers for posttraumatic stress disorder nicknamed "Lullaby" has hit the streets. Swallowing a pill erases traumatic memories, but what happens to a criminal trial when the star witness takes a pill and can't remember the crime? When two women are murdered in quick succession, biracial police detective Hannah McCabe is charged with solving the case. In spite of the advanced technology, including a citywide surveillance program, a third woman is soon killed, and the police begin to suspect that a serial killer is on the loose. But the third victim, a Broadway actress known as "The Red Queen" doesn't fit the pattern set by the first two murders.
