In this second incarnation of the story of Eve and Roarke, people are dying as always. This time it’s a high profile prosecuting attorney, and a sometimes colleague of Lieutenant Dallas, who had her throat viciously cut in a dark rainy alley.

WHile on one hand Rourke can be described as unbelievably everything on the other I find him a perfect companion to our flawed Dallas.
THis is only the second in a very long series but it is one of my favourites as everything was still very new to me.
In this, the second book, she is solving the murders of several women in prominent
I can see I'm in for the long haul on this series. There goes my Nook budget again. :)
And Roarke still carries that stupid button...
I really hated it.
Though I figured out early on who the killer was, I really enjoyed watching Eve puzzle it out.
Naturally the best part of the book is Eve and Roarke. Eve is still struggling to accept Roarke in her life and Roarke is upset that she's
