Publisher Description
“IF YOU HAVEN’T READ ROBB, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO START.”—Stephen King
“A WITTY, DARK, PAGE-TURNING TALE OF FUTURISTIC CRIME FIGHTING. RAYMOND CHANDLER MEETS BLADE RUNNER MEETS SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.”—Jonathan Kellerman
New York City, 2060: Lieutenant Eve Dallas never forgets a corpse. Her new case will resurrect the memories of women she couldn’t save—and the killer who slipped out of her grasp…
When the body of a young brunette is found in East River Park, artfully positioned and marked by signs of prolonged and painful torture, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier. The city was on edge from a killing spree that took the lives of four women in fifteen days, courtesy of a man the media tagged “The Groom”—because he put silver rings on the fingers of his victims.
But this time, it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made his attack personal. The young woman was employed by Eve’s billionaire husband, Roarke, washed in products from a store Roarke owns, and laid out on a sheet his company manufactures. Chances are, The Groom is working up to the biggest challenge of his illustrious career—abducting a woman who will test his skills and who promises to give him days and days of pleasure before she dies: Eve.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At 27 books and counting, Nora Roberts is more prolific under her Robb pseudonym than most authors manage in a single career. Yet the latest in her not-so-near-future detective series featuring New York Police Det. Eve Dallas offers a satisfyingly novel m lange of suspense, sex, forensics and heroics. It's 2060, and the serial killer nicknamed "The Groom" is back in town after an absence of nine years, resuming his horrific run of kidnapping, torturing and killing young women. Dallas, who served as a detective in the frustrating first investigation, assumes lead role in this one. This time, not only do the killer's chosen victims have ties to Dallas's husband, Roarke, but Dallas herself may be the killer's ultimate target. Swiftly paced, the story cuts frequently from the investigation to the killer's "progress" with his victims. Dallas works to outplan, outfight and outsmart the killer; to keep her handsome, rich husband happy; and to be ready for the next round after a good night's sleep. Robb's latest is bound to please Dallas fans.

Creation in Death
Another book in the series with plenty of twists and turns. Fast paced interesting read.

Awesome book!!!
Awesome!
I have read, and reread, all of the In Death novels. I think this novel shows more of the depth of characters that Ms. Roberts has created than any other book she has written to date. The ability of Eve and Roarke to blend their lives when they come at it from such opposing sides is interesting and, despite being fiction, just goes to show that anything worth having is hard work!
The stand-up lieutenant and the reformed criminal make a great team. seeing how Ms. Roberts can blend them in to one minds at times is entertaining and educational. I know that at some point this series will end, but I hope we get to see Eve run through a few more of life's little gems first. Marrying a billionaire and continuing to do work that is vital to who she is......I hope this is just the beginning of seeing her experience all life has to offer.
Ms. Roberts, if you ever read your fans reviews, I'd like to say that no other author has caught my attention and focused it as you have. You have a gift from God that you have passed on to so many with your words.
