About this listen
Audie Award, Romance, 2012
RITA Award Winner, Best Romantic Suspense, 2012
It was one of Eve Dallas’s earliest takedowns, back in her uniform days. A monster named Isaac McQueen had been abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. Thanks to Eve, he wound up where he belonged, removed from civilized society in Rikers. But he’s not behind bars anymore.
After his escape, McQueen has two things in mind. One is to take up where he left off, preying on the young and innocent - when necessary, with the help of a female partner all too willing to be manipulated and to aid and abet his crimes. His other goal: to get revenge on the woman who stopped him all those years ago, now a high-profile lieutenant in the NYPSD and married to one of the city’s richest men.
Commanding Eve’s attention with a chilling and brazen crime, McQueen sets off the chase - forcing Eve down a road marked with blood and tears, a road that eventually leads southwest to Dallas, Texas, the home Eve fled long ago. And each new twist brings her closer to the harrowing memory of when she wasn’t a hardened detective but a vulnerable girl just like McQueen’s innocent prey. As her husband, Roarke, tries to rescue her from the nightmares that claw at her mind, and her partner, Peabody, doggedly works to support her, Eve must confront - and call upon - the darkest parts of her own soul in order to survive.

I really don’t like this story, mainly due to Eve being not very nice in this one.
Strange that Eve was mean in the last one too.
Though I sympathise with her emotion turmoil raised by what happens, she is extremely obnoxious to Roarke, the one person who understands what she is going through. Eve is dealing so badly, Roarke, feeling helpless, has to bring Mira and Galahad to Dallas to help her deal.
And the way Eve sneers at the politeness of the people of Dallas, just rude.
BOOK REVIEW
Not one of my favourites even with the past bought front and centre.
Though full of tension all the way through, this is not one I enjoy very much, mainly due to Eve regressing stupidly and being nasty because she pushes herself instead of thinking. Yes she apologises but only after Roarke has to sic Mira onto her.
A tough one for Eve and Roarke.
Hunting someone she has already put away is difficult enough but is made into a trip into the past when she has to go to Dallas to pursue a paedophile.
At times Eve can be too stubborn for her own good. Getting herself so tired that it allows the nightmares to return is on her own head but Roarke suffers for it too. She is also a bit mean minded and nasty tempered towards Roarke in this one. Purposely picking fights rather than deal with her past.
Mira, as usual, is there to support her with this painful reality but Eve, true to form acts the ostrich and takes her time dealing.
I have to say she deserves to have a big pity party after recognising a face from her past she would rather forget but the fact she then stands for her was something I wouldn’t have done.
And how she goes about it by pushing Roarke away was truly Eve at her selfish worst.
Nice that Peabody is capably running the show in New York whilst Eve is in Dallas.
Hopefully Eve will be a kinder person to those she loves going forward now she has had this catalyst moment.
I have owned most of these books in paperback for years but now have them all in eBook format, so I am rereading this series once more in order, updating and replacing missing reviews.
Even knowing what is in the future, it is absolutely no hardship to reread this series and I am really enjoying how all the characters are growing and changing.
Not Eve's best behaviour in this one.

Any additional comments?
This is a great book but read it only if you have read the rest or it won't have the same impact. For people who have read or listened to the whole series, this is a very emotional book. I hate to see Eve struggle so much but it's very sweet the way Roark is with her. I just adore them both and all the characters too. J.D.Robb is absolute genius at writing characters that you can care about so much. I have no idea what I will do when I finish this series. I'm getting worried to be honest.Emotional

The first perpetrator Eve ever caught has escaped and targeted Eve in his games, games that he takes to Dallas. She now has to face not only the haunting eyes of his victims, but also the ghosts of her past in a place she never wants to visit again. She thought that would be difficult enough, but the ghosts of the past keep appearing and the one ghost she never thought she would see again is back, just as vile, spewing just as much vitriol as Eve remembers..... it hits her hard, fast and unexpectedly. Eve struggles to concentrate on the case and comes as close to breaking as we have ever seen her, it's brutal and heartbreaking as it pushes both Eve and Roarke to the brink. She won't let her demons win, but they may take huge pieces of her soul and Roarke's before she finally banishes them. I listened to this on Audible.

As with all of this series, another story that does not disappoint with the perfect narrator. I love these books.
