| In this latest Eve Dallas book, there's a serial killer out there who mutilates his victims' eyes after he chokes and rapes them. This case is rough for Dallas, who is reminded of her own rape at the hands of her father when she was a child. When a psychic approaches Dallas and tells her that she has had visions about the murders, Dallas is skeptical but reluctant to turn away the help. Eve Dallas also has to deal with the many friendships she has developed over the course of the series, including a pregnant best friend and a partner (Detective Delia Peabody) who is nervously anticipating moving in with her boyfriend. | ||
