Eve Dallas is a lieutenant on the New York City Police and Security Department. She has been married to Roarke for a year. Eve had been born to a poor family and was abused and raped by her father as a child. Eve keeps her job with the police even though she married into wealth. She is not the society type. She is a dedicated professional who doesn't like her husband interfering in her work. Eve begins to worry about Roarke after the second murder. She is worried that he might be a target and wants to protect him and keep him from being involved, for his own safety. The professional in her knows that Roarke can help and the whole situation will end faster if he is involved, so she allows Roarke to be a part of the investigation. Eve is street smart and good at her job. She is meticulous at tracking down details and catches details that other investigators missed. She is also able to use her husband's advanced technology and sources that are better than the police department's. Eve is not a publicity seeker or headline grabber. She is not looking for glory in the arrest of Yost and is willing to let Agent Stowe in on the arrest. She just wants to get a killer off the street and have the case ended.
