What could he have done to make someone want him dead?

Eve and Detective Amelia Peabody begin their investigation with curiosity as to how the killer was able to enter the secure building and Chu’s apartment. They interview Chu’s family, as well as his coworkers and the executives from the company where he was employed. Eve also turns to her husband, Roarke, for help examining the financial side of the case. He discovers large deposits that Chu’s employer made into his savings account at a bank in the Cayman Islands.
