I'm a fan of series what I loved about this one was that it had a real shift in Eve and Roark, there was less questioning more accepting of what they had, and the case was unconnected to roarks business or their pasts which recent books seem to want to tie in.

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. Around her neck is a single red ribbon. And when partner and friend Peabody is badly injured after escaping an attack, the stakes are raised. 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. Against her instincts, she accepts help from a psychic who offers one vision after another-each with shockingly accurate details of the murders. But it is the eyes-removed with such precision, as if done with the careful hands of a surgeon-that have Dallas most alarmed. Her hands are posed, as if in prayer. As more bodies turn up, each with the same defining scars, Eve is frantic for answers
