Set in 2059 in New York City, the number-one bestselling In
Death series has given fans a searing glimpse into
near-future law and order. Now, as scientists work to expand
the limits of technology, Detective Eve Dallas tracks the
cunning, cold-blooded killer of a father and son.
SummaryA pioneer of modern reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, Dr.
Wilfred B. Icove, is found dead in his office—murdered
in a chillingly efficient manner: one swift stab to the
heart. Struck by the immaculate condition of the crime
scene, Dallas suspects a professional killing. Security
disks show a stunningly beautiful woman calmly entering and
leaving the building—the good doctor's final appointment.
Known as "Dr. Perfect," the saintly Icove devoted his life
to his family and his work. His record is clean. Too clean
for Dallas. She knows he was hiding something and suspects
that his son—and successor—knows what it is. Then,
like father, like son, the young Dr. Icove is killed . . .
with the same deadly precision.
But who is the mystery woman—and what was her
relationship with the good doctors? While her husband,
Roarke, works behind the scenes, Dallas follows her darkest
instincts into the Icoves' pasts. What she discovers are men
driven to create perfection—playing fast and loose with
the laws of nature, the limits of science, and the morals of
humanity.
