Publisher's summary

Summer, 2059. A man wearing a cape and a top hat approaches a prostitute on a dark, New York City street. Minutes later, the woman is dead. Left at the scene is a letter addressed to Lieutenant Eve Dallas, inviting her to play his game and unveil his identity. He signs it, "Jack."

Now Dallas is in pursuit of a murderer who knows as much about the history of serial killers as she does. He has studied the most notorious and the most vicious slayings in modern times. But he also wants to make his own mark. And he has chosen his victim: Eve Dallas. And all Eve knows is that he plans to mimic the most infamous murderers of all - starting with Jack the Ripper.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Great story by Robb & Performance by Ericksen.

Robb does it again with intriguing story and fantastic characters. And Ericksen was brilliant as the narrator

Love Dallas Rourke & Co.

Another great book in the “in Death…” series. And lots of emotion, and a fascinating homage to past serial killers!

Best audio performance by far, of any of the 100s of books I have listened to. Head and shoulders above the rest. Love it!

Perfect understated humorous satire

Roberts knows how to craft the perfect story while Ericksen interprets the tone perfectly. Love how well this duo makes the perfect team. Humor, satire, a continual kaleidoscope of emotions. The interactions/relationships between characters draw you deeper into the total story.
