Apprentice in death / J.D. Robb.
When a long-distance serial killer begins targeting victims in New York City, NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas believes that the killer must have a reason for targeting her city. If she can figure that out, and why the sniper is selecting his victims, she knows she can ultimately find him. Eve gets her first big break in the case when her husband, billionaire businessman Roarke, creates a computer model that helps narrow down the spot from which the sniper first began his murderous spree. Once Eve finds the killer<U+2019>s nest, however, she is in for a surprise, since it seems there isn<U+2019>t just one shooter but two: a master sniper and an apprentice being trained in the cold-blooded business of murder.
"Nature versus nurture ... The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds, three people were dead at Central Park's ice skating rink. The victims: a talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be. Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD, but never one like this. After reviewing security videos, it becomes clear that the victims were killed by a sniper firing a tactical laser rifle, who could have been miles away when the trigger was pulled. And though the locations where the shooter could have set up seem endless, the list of people with that particular skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer. Eve's husband, Roarke, has unlimited resources--and genius--at his disposal. And when his computer program leads Eve to the location of the sniper, she learns a shocking fact: There were two--one older, one younger. Someone is being trained by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central Park was just a warm-up. And as another sniper attack shakes the city to its core, Eve realizes that though we're all shaped by the people around us, there are those who are just born evil.."-- Provided by publisher.
