Scifi and mystery - thriller and romance novel. No one does it better than J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts. In this novel, set in 2059 in New York City, Detective Eve Dalls tracks the cunning cold-blooded killer of a father and son team who have devoted their lives to reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Their records are clean, not even a parking ticket betweeen them and that's too clean for Dallas. She knows there's something hidden that resulted in double homicide. While her husband Roarke works behind the scenes, Dallas follows her darkest instincts into the victims' pasts. What she discovers are men driven to create perfection, playing fast and loose with the laws of nature, the limits of science and the morals of humanity.
