Taking place three years after the end of Knives Out, Marta Cabrera is struggling to figure out what to do with her life now that she has everything she could ever need except a purpose. She's always cared about others, about healing those in need, but no one seems to live up to her relationship with Harlan. Of course, there's always the man that Harlan himself claimed to be just like him, his grandson, Ransom Drysdale. When Marta learns that Ransom will be up for probation, she decides her next patient may just be the man who tried to kill her.

Summary
"Can I tell you something?” Furina asked before her courage could desert her. “Something I'd like to stay between us?"
"What's one more secret?" Neuvillette shrugged.
"I don't know if there is a limit to secrets two people can share," Furina said, tugging her robe around her shoulders a little tighter. "But I don't…I don't remember what my life was like before all this either."
Furina only revealed herself to him in little glimpses shared sparingly over the years. Trust was built between them at the pace of immortals who could afford to take their time evaluating each other. Furina wouldn't have dared appear so human in the beginning of their partnership but much had changed between them over the years. She was growing more comfortable sharing her bruises with him, allowing herself to be seen as silly, unpolished, and unrefined when it was just the two of them. He didn’t know if this was the real Furina or just another layer of her performance; he didn’t know enough about people yet to know if the lost look in her eye was genuine.

Summary
"They attempted to kill you," Neuvillette murmurs, "So I punished them for it." The words hang in the air, the chilling justification for an act that blurs the line between retribution and a descent into bias.
