Eve Dallas is investigating the case of a dead homeless person whose heart has been surgically removed from his body. NEatly and efficiently. Meanwhile she gets into an altercation with a sloppy fellow cop. As the investigation heats up, this cop is killed and Dallas is suspended. This causes major emotional issues for her. 
 I liked the first two thirds a lot better than the end. I just didnt get too involved in the whole conspiracy of the story. Not one of my favorite books in the series so far.
