"Fast paced romantic suspense series"

Eve Dallas is on the trail of a serial killer in this fast paced thriller. This time she not only has the help of her partner, Peabody, a psychic has shown up saying she is seeing the killings as they happen. The humor is sharp and snappy. The plot is dark and edgy. Peabody has found her comfort zone with her new promotion and with being an equal partner with Dallas. She is coming into her own in this book and you can see her growing. Dallas again deals with the issues of her childhood and it is these very issues that help her to understand the killer and stop him. Roark is his usual sexy helpful self, adding just enough to give the reader a breather from the killing. Mavis is blooming and causing Eve more discomfort by making her touch the bulge that is baby. Adding much appreciated humor. Friendship plays a larger roll in this novel than it has before. This story is about the ripples that having friend's makes in your life and how they can give you support when you need it the most. A must read for every J. D. Robb fan.

A brand-new novel in the number-one New York Times- bestselling In Death series set in 2059 New York City. As technology and humanity collide, Detective Eve Dallas searches the darkest corners of Manhattan for an elusive killer with a passion for collecting souls...

Summary

On one of the city's hottest nights, New York Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas is sent to Central Park—and into a hellish new investigation. The victim is found on the rocks, just above the still, dark water of the lake. Around her neck is a single red ribbon. Her hands are posed, as if in prayer. But it is the eyes—removed with such precision, as if done with the careful hands of a surgeon—that have Dallas most alarmed.

As more bodies turn up, each with the same defining scars, Eve is frantic for answers. Against her instincts, she accepts help from a psychic who offers one vision after another—each with shockingly accurate details of the murders. And when partner and friend Peabody is badly injured after escaping an attack, the stakes are raised. Are the eyes a symbol? A twisted religious ritual? A souvenir? With help from her husband, Roarke, Dallas must uncover the killer's motivation before another vision becomes another nightmare. . . .
