Eve Dallas is the tough lieutenant hot on his trail, but this is unlike any case she’s ever been assigned—or any killer she’s ever pursued. A police sketch based on eye-witness testimony reveals the killer has green skin, swollen red eyes, goblin ears, and a dislocated jaw-structure that defies the human form. Is it a mask? Is it make-up? Or is the explanation more sinister?
Dallas faces off against multiple suspects—all of them students of medicine capable of precisely slicing the ears, noses, and eyes of the three victims. But who had the motive? More importantly, what kind of rogue science are these healers practicing?

"Again, I do get annoyed with these "short" stories, they are always so good that I wish she would have done an entire book! I love this series and seriously hope it never ends!!!!!"
— Sarah (5 out of 5 stars)
" Found this story in a book of mysteries called The Unquiet. The story was good, but I probably would have liked it better had it been a full novel instead--more background and details. "
— Marge, 2/12/2014" Closer to 2.5 stars. I LOVE the in Death books, but these short ones usually leaving me wanting. "
— Tanya, 2/7/2014" In my opinion, the weakest of the novellas. "
— Barbara, 2/6/2014" I just love these stories!!! "
— Betty, 1/25/2014" Audio versions from J.D.Robb works are always enjoyment in full mode. This short novella was really interesting and as always comical to the core. I recommend it on...!! "
— Meggie, 1/21/2014" not bad. I think it didn't live up to what I expected because i loved New York to Dallas so much... but not bad for one of her Novellas. "
— Andrea, 1/15/2014" Weird. Weird & weird. They never really go on to explain exactly how this could have happened, but it's just weird and sort of a strange departure from the other In Death plots. "
— Kari, 1/8/2014" A very short story, a bit rushed I think. But hey, I always love Roarke & Dallas! "
— Esmeralda, 12/13/2013" not as wonderful as the rest of the series. A bit rushed i think. "
— Sam, 12/11/2013" Great take on a classic. Page turner from start to finish. "
— Ann, 12/2/2013" In Death book 33.5 "
— Tracy, 11/30/2013" Interesting application of Mr. Hyde. "
— Thomas, 5/18/2013" Great series. Loved them all "
— Pauline, 5/14/2013" When you read a series so long, the characters seem to become beloved members of your family. That probably colors my review of this short story. I guessed the outcome early on, but getting there was engrossing. "
— Lynda, 9/14/2012" In the UNQUIET "
— Felicear, 6/16/2012" kinda scary "
— MarCo, 3/22/2012" Still love Roarke and Eve. All these characters. This is my one soap opera that I can't get rid of. I am always waiting for the new one to come out. "
— Yvonne, 2/16/2012" Three and a half stars - this is a novella and was kind of 'hokey' for lack of a better word. I'm hoping that the next "In Death" book describes Chaos as a bad dream that Eve had. I would say that this was my least favorite Eve/Roarke story due to the unbelievable murderous character. "
