About this ebook

In this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas faces a serial killer who offers his victims eternal youth by taking their life…

After a tip from a reporter, Eve Dallas finds the body of a young woman in a Delancey street dumpster. Just hours before, the news station had mysteriously received a portfolio of professional portraits of the woman. The photos seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary for any pretty young woman starting a modeling career. Except that she wasn't a model. And that these photos were taken after she had been murdered.

Now Dallas is on the trail of a killer who's a perfectionist and an artist. He carefully observes and records his victim's every move. And he has a mission: to own every beautiful young woman's innocence, to capture her youth and vitality—in one fateful shot...

Ratings and reviews

while the killer was a sad and pathetic young man, one to be pitied in the end, this book was still a great read. what made this book great for me was that some of Roarke's past was brought in, and made his younger life right for him. if you've grown to love the story of Eve and Roarke, read it and see for yourself.

IT SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME! IT ALSO KEPT ME READING TO THE END.I DON'T ALWAYS LIKE THE STORY, BUT THE RELATIONSHIPS,KEEP ME A FAN.THOUGH I UNDERSTAND'SHE'LL NEVER BEAT NORA ROBERTS QUARTET!

Has lots to offer, nice side story happening along with the crime story. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
