      Lieutenant Eve Dallas never wavers in her search for justice. But in this gripping novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, she’ll learn that matters of the heart are never black and white. The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police Lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects—including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead...to investigate every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.

Now, immersed in the grinding fatigue of her second year as a surgical resident, she's elated when the hospital's elite cardiac transplant team taps her as a potential recruit. But Abby soon makes an anguished, crucial decision that jeopardizes her entire career. A car crash victim's healthy heart is ready to be harvested; it is immediately cross-matched to a wealthy private patient, Nina Voss. Abby hatches a bold plan to make sure that the transplant goes instead to a dying seventeen-year-old boy who is also a perfect match. The repercussions are powerful and swift and Abby is shaken but unrepentant-- until she meets the frail, tormented Nina. Then a new heart for Nina Voss suddenly appears, her transplant is completed, and Abby makes a terrible discovery: Nina's heart has not come through the proper channels. Defying Bayside Hospital?s demands for silence, Abby plunges into an investigation that reveals an intricate, and murderous, chain of deceptions. Every move Abby makes spawns a vicious backlash and, in a ship anchored in the stagnant waters of Boston Harbor, a final, grisly discovery lies waiting" -- From Amazon.com

      Le policier italien Taddeo Bottando et son adjointe Flavia sont confrontés à une incroyable révélation. Un étudiant britannique, Jonathan Argyll, affirme que, sous la toile obscure d'une petite église romaine, se cache en réalité un chef-d'oeuvre de Raphaël. Les policiers arrivent, hélas, trop tard ; le curé de la paroisse a déjà cédé ce tableau à un collectionneur. Le gouvernement italien devra le racheter à un prix exorbitant lors d'une vente aux enchères. Pourtant, malgré les expertises, un doute demeure sur l'authenticité de cette œuvre et les soupçons d'escroquerie risquent fort d'être confirmés au-delà de toute espérance. Voici une enquête menée de main de maître. Iain Pears réussit à allier érudition, humour et suspense. Il entraîne le néophyte dans les coulisses de l'histoire de l'art, où le spécialiste côtoie le faussaire.
