With the precision of a surgeon, a serial killer preys on the most vulnerable souls of the world's city streets. The first victim: a sidewalk sleeper, found dead in New York City. No bruises, no signs of struggle. Just a laser-perfect, fist-sized hole where his heart had once been. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is assigned to investigate. But in the heat of a cat-and-mouse game with the killer, Dallas' job is suddenly on the line. Now her hands are tied...between a struggle for justice - and a fight for her career.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

love this series!

I am so happy there are so many books to this series. I have no idea what I will do when with my life once it's over. Lol.

A conspiracy, as advertised

I always have a hard time with murders built around conspiracies because it’s just unbelievable that so many people would maintain silence over the course of multiple deaths. Doctor Mira being allowed to treat/test her friend Eve also continues to irk me because that’s a clear conflict of interest in a series that cares about cop conflicts. Finally, the ease with which Roarke can pick any lock, hack any database, and get information from any business (because he pretty much owns the world) was working on steroids here. I can deal with one or two eye-roll plot cheats, but it felt like all of the author’s go-to plot cheats were on display.

Putting aside the eye-rolls, however, this was otherwise a pretty good installment. I especially like the threat to Eve’s badge and how her team rallies around her. It gave folks like Feeney, Mavis or even her reporter friend to do something different in this book.

best book in this series so far

I loved it. the part when Rourke and eve were out side playing in the snow was a first for this book series. The narrator is the best but sometimes it's hard to distinguish who she is talking for and it gets a little confusing. but I like listening to the narrator.

Emotional

I’ve forgotten what a tear-jerker this book was. The scenes when Eve lost her badge and when she underwent testing gutted me. This one’s less about the whodunit than Eve’s character development. What makes this so good is alongside the angst, there is still humor and the intensity of Eve and Roarke’s love for one another.

Cant get enough Eve Dallas and Rourke!

Im finding myself just reading one after the other. I love this series, these characters and this narrator has these characters down PERFECTLY! I’m never confused about who is speaking. She really makes the listening experience fun!

Hook, line, & sinker!

Fantastic storyline! Love Eve and Roarke! Hooks you immediately and doesn’t let you go until the end.

I’m in Love!

This is one of the best series I’ve ever listen to I’ve listen to it each book at least twice back to back and I would recommend it anyone who is in love with Nora Roberts to listen to the series you will not regret it.

A Great One!

I loved the fast pace and how the characters all came together. Kept me guessing!

Loved it

I keep rereading my books when I'm bored. She captivates me every time. Love Susan's rendition
