在一個科技能左右情緒與感受的時代,連死亡也會帶來極致的狂喜……一名天才工程師、一個敗德律師與一位政治家,三人相繼自殺身亡,死時皆面帶微笑。他們彼此不認識,也沒有任何相似之處,而且也沒有尋死的動機。重案組小隊長依芙.達拉斯直覺認為這三起命案不單純。法醫在驗屍時發現三名死者的腦部都有微小的灼傷,證實了她的懷疑。是基因異常將他們送上死路,還是他們成為高科技殺人工具的祭品?為了追尋真相,依芙勇闖虛擬實境遊戲的誘人世界,卻發現原本用來製造喜悅、勾起慾望的科技,化身成為誘導心智自我毀滅的武器……
'He killed himself, Lieutenant. He was hanging there, just hanging there from the ceiling light in the living room. And his face ...Oh God.' Death follows New York City cop Eve Dallas everywhere - even on her honeymoon with Irish lover Roarke. When one of Roarke's employees is found dead, the post-mortem confirms suicide. An isolated case, or so Eve thinks. But more suicides follow - strangers with nothing in common. The pathologist's report states each victim has an unexplained mark on their brain. Is this a genetic abnormality or a high-tech method of murder? With the body count rising, Eve must delve into the world of virtual reality to hunt down a twisted killer. A killer who preys on the minds of the innocent.
