A pioneer of modern reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, Dr Icove, is found dead in his office - murdered in a chillingly efficient manner; one sweif stab to the heart. Detective Eve Dallas suspects a professional killing.
Known as "Dr Perfect", the sainlty Icovehad devoted his life to his family and work. His record is clean. Too clean for Dallas. She knows he was hiding something and suspects that this son -and successor- knows what it is. Then, like father and son, the younger Dr Icove is killed.
Dallas follows her darkest instincts into the Icove's pasts. What she discovers are men driven to creat perfection-playing fast and loose with the laws of nature, the limits of science, and the morals of humanity

A very good read. You don't have to read the Eve Dallas stories in any sequence. Nora Roberts does very well in the murder/myster/detective style. I like her characters, Eve, her husband, and her partner are great.
