It was one of Eve Dallas’s earliest takedowns, back in her uniform days. A monster named Isaac McQueen had been abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. Thanks to Eve, he wound up where he belonged, removed from civilized society in Rikers. But he’s not behind bars anymore.

After his escape, McQueen has two things in mind. One is to take up where he left off, preying on the young and innocent - when necessary, with the help of a female partner all too willing to be manipulated and to aid and abet his crimes. His other goal: to get revenge on the woman who stopped him all those years ago, now a high-profile lieutenant in the NYPSD and married to one of the city’s richest men.

Commanding Eve’s attention with a chilling and brazen crime, McQueen sets off the chase - forcing Eve down a road marked with blood and tears, a road that eventually leads southwest to Dallas, Texas, the home Eve fled long ago. And each new twist brings her closer to the harrowing memory of when she wasn’t a hardened detective but a vulnerable girl just like McQueen’s innocent prey. As her husband, Roarke, tries to rescue her from the nightmares that claw at her mind, and her partner, Peabody, doggedly works to support her, Eve must confront - and call upon - the darkest parts of her own soul in order to survive.

Crack another case with Eve Dallas.

Best book of the series

This is the best book ever f the series since the beginning of the series. Well written, suspenseful, and intimate. You don’t need to have read the earlier books to enjoy this one. I highly recommend this title.

Wow

If you could sum up New York to Dallas in three words, what would they be?

Beyond excellent. INTENSE.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yep. I kept wanting to know how she was going to top each situation that happened.

Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

In this one...Roarke. And I was glad to see more of Dr. Mira.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely. Wasn't possible, but I would have if it had been.

Any additional comments?

Do NOT buy the abridged edition, this is an incredibly important book in Eve's development, and you shouldn't miss a second of it.

Excellent, as always...

ROARKE LOVES EVE AND UNDERSTAND HER MIND

Any additional comments?

ROARKE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR EVE. I LOVE READING THESE BOOKS AND NOW LISTENING TO THEM

Good story, narration not do much

Narration sounded like Eva was in constant state of hysteria. Alarm or displeasure in her voice constant & elevated even more at times. Hard to listen to & deceiving about level of drama in storyline

I Can't Get Enough of the series!!!!

I loved this book!! The relationship with Eve and Roarke is my favorite literary relationship and this book highlighted why I care about this couple. Watching them deal with such an emotional case and how to care for one another was exceptional! Of course Eve's kick-ass style was also well represented, no matter what she has been through, she still manages to pick herself up and take care of business - LOVE HER!!

Loved this book

Very good story. I Loved the narrator, this is a Great series.

Wonderful book

This book was great, it had everything one expects from a JD Robb novel and kept me awake one night to listen to the whole thing.

What a great book!

If you follow this series, this brings you back to the beginning. Eve's past shows up big time in this book, and is a real ride for the listener. She's tough and determined not to let this case get to her, even though it brings her back to her very beginning. It's not just a case, but a personal threat to her and Roarke. Roarke is right there with her, knowing her better than she knows herself, along with her support team, this book doesn't disappoint. Absolutely loved this book, and Susan Ericksen couldn't do a better job. She brings these characters to life, along with the drama and humor.
If you liked Anita Blake at first, then got totally mad at what happened with her character, try these books. Eve Dallas is tough and vulnerable, with the perfect sexy partner, Roarke. Just a great series!

The best yet!

This was so good that when I finished I immediately started it again. I cried more than once and just loved the interaction between Dallas and Roarke. I only regret that it will be so long before another one comes out.
