Eve Dallas is looking forward to a quiet evening at home with her husband Roarke when she gets the call of a sniper that killed three at the skating rink in Central Park.  This is just the first attack by a long distance serial killer sniper.  It's up to Eve to figure out the targets and to take down the killers.

I really enjoyed this audio book.  It is the latest in Nora Roberts' futuristic mystery series.  The killers were exceptionally chilling in their motives and psychology.  A great addition to the series.

 I was terribly disappointed in this book. I expected precision and accuracy from a Marine sniper. However on the second page of chapter one he talked about riflemen during the battle of New Orleans. These riflemen were picking off British officers with well-placed shots. He painted a picture of one of the rifleman, “The rifle came up and belched black smoke.” Unfortunately black powder makes WHITE smoke, not black smoke. A little mistake, most wouldn't notice. But for the rest of the book, I was never sure if anything else was accurate. Too bad.
